Dear [?] 

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

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

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

Love Eddie & [?]
