Letter #5 after Christmas. Sounds like he is anxiously awaiting to receive cards and letters from the family. He seems very bored at the moment stuck in the barracks and playing cards all the time! Not sure who Howie is, maybe a neighborhood boy?
No one likes limbo. He's stuck between his old life back home and the uncertain future ahead. I don't envy him that, and I can imagine the homesickness setting in a little bit, even if he doesn't admit it, lol.
Plus his first holiday away from home. Luckily, his tooth was not a big problem either. Next letter, will be January 1944 to his little brother, my Dad...
