Dear mother: -
Rec'd your most welcome
letter yesterday and sure was
glad to hear from you. Also rec'd
the package which you sent, but
am sorry to say that I can't use
the underwear and socks as we
are furnished with special
underwear and socks by the
government and cant wear any
other kind. Can use the hanker-
chefs though. Have plenty of them
now though. Dont think I can
send them back now as I am
in Detention. Got my second
shot in the arm this after-
noon and it is a little sore
