Letter from Eva S. Moorefield to Jewell H. Spears, Jan. 28, 1945

High Point, N. C. Monday 28, 1945

Dearest Pete: Well it is Monday and for a change we are having some sun shiny weather. It really looks good too but it is rather cold but it is better than so much rain. Harry had the flu last week and still has a pretty bad cold yet but he was real sick the last of the week. He has gone to work this morning. Mary is over here this morning helping me a little and she was asking about you. She said she would be glad when you and all the rest came home for good. She has a son in France. It looks as if the Russians are going to beat the others to Berlin. They are less than one hundred miles from there. It will be too bad for the Germans when they get there too. Are you still getting the Enterprise regularly? I called the office and told them to be sure to put the funnies (over)

2 in your picture. They were short of them when you failed to get them. Father MacMillan has gone to have an operation. He will be gone for quite some time I think. Judy is in here singing: "I'm a stream lined jitterbug, yea-yea-yea that's what I am." You'd die laughing if you could hear her. She is always singing something. She tells me every once in a while: "Mother don't fence me in." She really forgets nothing and do we have to be careful what we say or not. She is growing taller but isn't getting very fat. Harry is getting mighty impatient for spring and summer to get here so he can go fishing. Every pretty day we have, he will say something about fishing but I hope he will bring more fish home this year than last.

3 I haven't seen Henry since the holidays but I guess they are getting on O.K. I've had a couple of letters from Faison and Mary and I sure would like to see their family especially the new baby. Well, Pete, as usual there's no news to write about from here. I hope your cold is much better and you are getting along fine and maybe it won't be so much longer before you can be home with us again, that's my prayer daily. Be good and write when you can as I look forward to your letters. Bye now, dear. I want to give this to the mail man, I'll write again soon. Judy sends oodles of love & kisses and regards from every body. Much Love Always Your Sis Eva Moorefield
