26 November 1952
"All the fellows are ribbing me about me being so tight with my money but I sure don't care. As I think I will have something when they won't. Another thing, I just can't see going and spending all my money like some the fellows do when they go ashore. One chief owes me $5.00 this payday....I will have about $15.00 to buy your Xmas present with and send it on to you....We have run out of the plain envelopes that I used to use when I wrote you so I had to go to the store and buy some of the ones that I am now using. They cost 10 cents for 12 of them. I sure do hate to buy anything in that store as I just hate to see that money creep from my hands. Yes, I guess you married a tite wad."
