My Own Two Sweethearts.

Just a couple cards to let you know that Christmas and new years did not put me out of circulation.

Your air letter of Dec 27 came in yesterday and I was glad to hear you had a good time at Christmas. I can imagine the fun this time with Pat being in the "know" about St. Nick. Wrote to Mum tonight so am starting to catch up on my letters again but plenty to write yet.

I did tell you about being out for Christmas dinner didn't I?? Some day I will tell you more about location etc.

All My Love Always.
Daddy
