Winnie died today.  She has been very sick and they didn't think she would make it from the first.  I guess it is a good thing.  
I got a Class III tire this afternoon.  It is made partially out of reclaimed rubber.  The man said with a Model A it never would wear out.  Still leaves some other poor ones.  Don't you worry about it as I'll do all of that.

I love you lots, honey, and hope the war will be over soon or I'll be assigned where I can have you all with me.  
Love & kisses, 
Daddy.
