My Precious,

There was just no place to

mail the first part of this letter—

I’m still not sure I can find a

place to mail this. As to writing

“convenience”—this scribbling is done

by 3 candles up against a tent stove &

its so close to night duty time I

just cant even call this second edition

a “letter.”

Anyhoooo, I love you & Thump[1]

so so so very very much. These

nightmarish-holocosts [though it may be

hard to reason-out/understand][2] just bring

the 3 of us “closer” together (if such is possible).

All of my love & all of me to you,

Dave
