my eyes. Ours is certainly a family
of soldier boys with you and Lesley
valiently holding down the scales

Well Edward, old top, I wish
you luck on your quest and "bon
voyage" and hope that soon we
will be together the "flying devil"
"the ground hog" and myself – we

give the Huns hell – write often to
mother and father and some time when
the "cooties" are not busy write to

Your loving brother

Dick.
