Dear Sister:
Just received your letter which you wrote June 12. Was more than glad to hear from you. Hope this will find you all well. I am getting along O. K. how are papa, mama and Jason getting along?
Uncle Sam’s boys are making it hot for the Germans now. We get the best of everything we undertake. I think the Germans have struck a knot.
Tell everybody hello for me and tell the folks to write.
