Dear Mae,

            I really don’t know what to say.  Now, I’m so disgusted by the way you have carried on. We finally received our mail and of course there was none from you. After waiting two months just to hear from you, you do this to me. I can’t understand what has happened, you wanted us to have a fair chance, if that is what you call fair I’m glad I found out in time.

            My feelings are really hurt. Of all the things I have been planning and helping some day if would come true but not now, this batch of mail killed me of everything. It would have been better if we never received any mail at least I would have that thought that some would be there and that you were still writing. I wouldn’t do a dog the trick that you just gave me. If you think its fun to the way for a certain length of time depending on a party to keep you going and then pull a fast one unexpectedly well you got another thing coming. I don’t wish you any bad luck but hope to help you get in such a predicament and then you know how this feels.

            If the other girls at home are doing the same to their boy-friends who are out in the battle front I feel sorry for them. That’s the trouble with all of you people at home you don’t even know there is a war going on, and we are fighting in democracy. As the attitude the people at home are talking, it would be better to be placed on some uncivilized island and live there. You really made things nice to come home to.

            I have to heart to carry this letter away further so I just want to thank you for everything you’ve done. The way I feel would doubt if you will ever hear from me or see me again. I can’t go on like this.

            This is as anniversary date I’ll never forget.

Good-bye and Good luck

Paul
