Dear Mom,
Thought I would try to write a few lines with my receipt for my insurance. Who said I wasn't worth anything? haha I'm worth $10,000.000 "dead". I could have made out one for $5000 and paid $3.20 per month, but I thought it would be the best to make out one for $6.40 a month, so if I get killed you will get something.
We have to go out to drill in a few minutes. We just got back from a parade, and we sure looked awful. We have to get down on our knees tonight and scrub the whole floor with a scrub brush. I hate to do that but have to, anyway.
Don't forget to send me some candy if you can get a hold of any, and some cake, too. The next time I go to the PX, I will get a carton or 2 of chew gum and send it to you all.
Got a letter from Louise Monday, and she was mad because I wrote her a card instead of a letter. But, I wrote her 2 letters, and I don't know why she hasn't gotten them yet.
Guess I will quit now since I have to start to work. My cold is a little better now. They gave me some medicine. I am using that writing paper that you sent.
Your son,
Edward
p.s. I guess I am worrying you to death about that candy in every letter that I write. I guess the reason I want it so bad is because all the rest of the boys get some sent to them. I get some once in a while from them and want to give them some back.
