My dear Edward

Your Mother tells
me that she got two letters
from you today written about
October 31st. We are all happy
to know that you have come
through unscathed, though
you must be very uncomfortable
with no change of underwear
and with wet feet so constantly.
I have the pair of socks that
I knit for you in the summer
