Dear Mrs. Fizer,
It sure makes a guy feel swell to know those back home remember us and I want to thank you and the girls for the Christmas card and valentine and seomtime when you feel like it I'd sure appreciate a letter. Mom writes me that you had been sick for quite a while, I hope by now you're feeling better. Quite a lot has happened since I saw you last. It was working in Balto, before I went into the sumci, spent some time at Camp Lee, Va., Fort Custin, Va., and and was stationed at Paine Field, Wash.,before going overseas. We felt the States last June 18 and we've covered quite a bit of the territory since. Sometime duel sometimes exciting, censorship prevents my saying more, but we're all doing our best to bring this war to a close. I can't tell you where I am, except that I've on the Pacific side. I suppose you know all about the rest of us. Envelope is still Cumberland, has twin girls and a boy now, Gestrude is still at King's Daughter's, mit supervisor

I believe she is (pretty bad when a guy can't remember what his sister's doing) Ciudrey's still at the Interworai and June s mavied and I can't keep up to here. She was in Milwanfree a while, then in Balto, then Hartford, Conn., and all over I think skies in the South somewhere now, I'll get a letter soon, I know and she'll tell me all about it, she write me quite often and I always enjoy her letters, She like me, she laughs at everyhting, Harry Broth her husband, inspects motorcycles for the boys in the army and teaches them all about how to handle them and care for them. He's sure a swll fellow and you'd think she and Harry were first married the way they act. She handles all his book work and they manage very well. James is at Pearl Harbour yet, and Mom hears from him occasionally. Frank is married and lives in Balto. Mother seems to do very well, she's on John SSt. now, likes her place sweel, she and Audrey and Mistude and Hames, Buties boy, stay with her. When I got your cards several days ago, I thought they were from Camp Jenny on Ca.Ciuz., but I sure was suprised to hear from you all. Not that I had dorgotten you, but it seems like so much has happened since we left there, I remember her seem you once, Mrs Fizer, on Buxon Sp several years ago. I don't believe you recognized me though, although I havn't changed much, maybe a little more devilish. I'm comming out to see you if I run get the chance, I want to see you

and the girls. How is Oakley and Ciums? You know it seems like years since I've seen them, I believe it's been about twelve now, but I know I'd recgnize them. I've only been out in that neighborhood several times in the last en years. Dut you can look for me sooner or later, I used to see bleutus often when I was home on a weekend, but not to talk to, only at a distance. You see I was working for Several Elevtric as a shipping clerk when D left had been there over 3 years. That was outside of Baltos a ways. I've been thinking a lot about all since I heard from you used to hold me on your lap, and fix me things where I was sick that tiime with typhoid and scarlet fever. I won't ever forget it, I don't guess. Wish I could tell you all about where we are and what we're doing. I'mm a machine gun corporal, jave been snce over a year ago. I love machine guns. Well I guess this is all for nowm please write soon and I certainly hope you'reall well again and feeling good. Don't work too hard and thanks again for the cards. Always,
Your Soldier Boy,
Eddie
