High Point, N.C. Monday Mar. 5th
Dearest Pete: Well, it's raining here again this Monday morning so I thought I would drop you a line for most of the times I write you it is raining. We went to see Henry & Lib Saturday night and had a flat tire Sunday morning so guess we must have picked up a nail on the way back from Greensboro. Henry is wearing glasses now. He looks well, he and Lib have taken the apartment downstairs to themselves and have started housekeeping. They really got some very nice things when they were married and now they have a chance to use them. Lib is working in the office of the Burlington Mills. Pete, I haven't sent your fruit cake yet. I have it here but seems I just can't ever get to the Post-office but one of these days may be we will all be well again (over)

2 and I can get out again but right now I have sore throat or else my tonsils are very bad. I can hardly swallow and the weather just won't stay clear so I can get to town. But the cake will be that much better when you do get it. Judy is growing these days but she gets taller and not fatter. She doesn't weigh but 21 lbs and she is a year older than Faison's kid "James" and he weighs 35 lbs. Isn't that something? I guess Judy will be a midget. Jewell, Walt Spencer of High Point is with the 4th Marines and so is Arthur Metcalfe also of High Point. Have you met them? I guess not but if you do let me know. I know them both real well and Walt Spencer used to work at Merita Bakery. Arthur Metcalfe was a Fireman before he

Well, Pete, every body we know are asking about you every time they see us and I know you will write the first chance you get, so I try not to worry but am looking forward to hearing from you until then, "God keep you safe" is my daily prayer for a very dear brother. Must close now as it is almost time for post-man - Remember we love you dearly and you are always in our thoughts & prayersGood-Bye dear - until later Love Always Your Sis Eva Moorefield
