There is one of those boche planes
buzzing around over head and all
the fellows ducked for shelter. It is
my turn to go on anti-avion guard
and I will have to hurry with this
letter. I have not received the package
you sent me so probably it is lost. It
is hard to tell what has become of it.

Well darling I will close for this time
and hope to hear from you soon. Give
my regards to all the bunch and aunt
and uncle. Regards to the folks down
at Redwood City. With love and kisses
from your lonesome soldier boy.

Hienie.
