Hello Jane!
Forgive me for not writing sooner but I really haven’t wirten a word for the past couple of weeks. Just the neglectful type you know. I should have written sooner just to keep you in shape for reading my writing if nothing else, no?
Sorry – Interrupted by a major and a couple of captains to have a glass of beer. Must go – will write again.
Please write.
Remember
Ted
Coming back to Salem soon.
