Dear Ed:
I am now stationed at Lodd Field, about 2 miles from Fairbanks, Alaska and like it here quite well. The weather is getting warmer, and it will be summer in about a month. I’m with the military police, and like this work pretty well. Marion Jans from Hull is with me here. We’re in the same M. P. company, and were together since we came into the army. I’m sending you my new address, and ask you to send the News as soon as possible. Thank you.
