Yesterday was thanksgiving and, believe it or not, we had roast chicken. There was plenty, and it was delicious. Except for the dehydrated potatoes cooked in chlorinated water, the meal was very satisfying. I’ll bet we get turkey and cranberries by Xmas time. Which reminds me that none of the Xmas packages have arrived as yet. We now get fresh eggs and butter occasionally. I noticed a slip in one of the egg crates his morning: “In the event of complaints, refer to HEN.” Just a bit of Australian humor.

To tell you the truth, I haven’t had much time to worry about you and the kid. That is one advantage to being in combat. You are so busy with the problem of staying alive and healthy that the day is fairly well occupied, and the time passes very rapidly.

I almost forgot. Yesterday I had a big fresh onion. As you well know, if I can get an onion, all is well in the world.
