Dear Mom,

            Got your letter OK. Was glad to hear from you.

            It is a right nice day here today.  Sun is shining and all. Has few cold the last two or three days, though.

             How is Kyle, Bernice and everyone getting along. They must all be pretty busy with their jobs and all.

            Boy! The RAF and American bombers sure are raising Hell over Germany, aren’t they.  Am glad I ain’t in Berlin these days.

                        Lots of love and write soon,

                                                                        John.
