Dear Jim,

If you are still in England, this card is going to reach you about a month too soon but I'm not going to take any chances. Sorry I didn't get any leave before I left so I could see you, but that's the way things go and afterall, you were the one who got leave so regular & you could have come to see me just as well as not: but that's all past now. There's no use harping on it.

I've waited three years to get into an outfit & sure was lucky! I know quite a few of the fellows. Some of them came from home. You wouldn't know them, so it's not much use mentioning their names: but I haven't had any mail for quite awhile and I'm moving around so much, I'll be lucky if it ever catches up!

Did you get your ten days leave as you expected? I wish I could have got mine so I could have seen some of the nicer places in England which you love to talk about. What's the latest news from home? Will now close...Best of luck and Merry Christmas

Stan
