Dear Mom & Pop:
I received your letters but waited to answer them until tonight. Tonight is draft night, and by the way, I’m on draft, so that means I won’t be home this weekend. I was on a one man draft so I’m pretty sure of former school. If I can I’ll try and let you know when I leave. If you don’t hear from me don’t worry!!! Well I guess I’ll close now and take a shower.
All my love.
Alfred
P.S. Tell Betty I’m sorry I can’t get to her wedding and also tell the kids I’ll write as soon as I can.
