Dear [?] 

Sorry I can't send you anything for christmas. The Gov't is taking it back in War Bonds and Stamps. 

[With Sincere Good Wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year] 

I expect to get my wings in March and go over in April. Hope I can see you before then. Have a swell christmas and New Years and regards to your girl friend. 

Love Eddie and [?]
