Coddaire writes that they will have to send V-Mails more often as the radio announced that the use of air mail stamps will not guarantee delivery by air mail. He also thanks Olive foe the socks, gloves, and big squares. He mentions getting a hors d’oeuvres set from Delmar. He sent a air mail letter last night but as Olive will most likly get the V-Mail first he notes that his address has changed as he is now in Headquarters Company.
