Dear Mollye :—
I see by your letter almost everyone is coming home on furlough except poor me. Isn’t it a pity? I went up to the Major the other day and told him I thought I would take a vacation for a while, but he asked me not to just yet as he needs me here right now as business is very good and I’m so important around here. Well, who am I to let the Major down at a time like this with all the Christmas shoppers buying early.
I weigh exactly one hundred and forty-four and a half. Not much chance to play basketball, but I’m practicing up on my billiard game.
Well, it’s time for all nice little Pvts. to be in bed so I’ll say adios and write soon.
Lots of love,
Milton Cohen

P.S. Don’t forget the “Recorder.”
P.P.S.S. How .are the dances coming along. I’m afraid by the time I get back, jitterbugging will be out of style.
