Glad to hear from you again,
learn that you are well and happy
now that the European war is sue
cessfully concluded. Those of you
who served through the italian
campaign had plenty of rough go
ing at times, and have earned
much well deserved credit for your
contribution to the thorough lick
ing that the Nazi armies received.
Please tell all the fellows in your
outfit that the folks back in your
home town think they did a swell
job all the way through. Their
record definitely proves our be-
liefs.
I know that all your former
friends in this community will be
pleased when the day arrives for
you to return to the States, so that
they can see you and talk with you
again about old times. Right

In closing I want to wish all my
