My Dear Sister,

            Just a few lines to let you know that so far I am still o.k., and I sincerely hope that I will continue to remain so.

            Well sis, we had some awful times in the last three weeks.  We have lost an awful number of men.  It started from the night I scribbled you the few lines in a hurt.  But, thank God, I am still here.

             I am sending a few flowers I picked in a city a mile from where the battle was fought.  We won, but I have lost my best friends.  But this is the way of war: here today, tomorrow somewhere.

     Well sis, how is everything around home? It must be nice there at present.  I wish I was there; but never mind, while there is life there is hope.

     Well sis, I am too tired to write. In fact, there is nothing to write about; so give my love to all.

Yours Loving

Ervin
