Dear Kids,

Received box yesterday and did I ever appreciate it. Those dates were really good. I was on special detail yesterday. Officers mess. They are trying to convert me into being a cook and I won't be converted for that is not what I want. It is a shame the way they waste food. Gallons of coffee, great chunks of butter and every thing else throwed out. For dinner yesterday: carrot sticks, soup, stuffed celery, roast duck and dressing, potatoes, asparagus, aspic salad, hot rolls and butter, coffee, milk, fresh strawberry shortcacke with ice cream.
