Dear Mom & Pap,

Well here it is Thanksgiving and I’m in the Hospital. Now don’t worry, all I have is a bad cold. They call it acute Pharyngitis.

It’s not too bad in here though. Yesterday we saw “Conflict” with Humphrey Bogart, we have magazines, and the choice is pretty good. Today we get Turkey, (I hope), don’t bother changing my address because I don’t think I’ll be here too long. Well I’ll have to leave now. Take care of yourself and tell Pap to do the same. My address is on the outside of the envelope.

All my love,

Alfred
