Dear mom and pop:
I’m sorry I haven’t written in a while but I haven’t had much time this week. If you don’t hear a lot from me don’t get worried. I’m sending home the pass to get in the gate. I haven’t gotten the cakes that you said pop sent yet. One thing about working in this chow hall is that we get all the best food we can eat. I’m on the serving line that serves the Waves. Well mom I’ll have to close now as I just got back from chow hall and just have time to take a shower and hit the sack. I’ll see you Sunday.
All my love
Alfred
