Dear Donnie,
To start off with me don't know each other . That sounds sort of dumb but what can you expect from a friend of George Yarbac. He gave me your address so I didn't think yyou would mind if I wrote a friendly letter. To start of with I am from the fiar state of West Virginia, Ad believe it or not I wore shoes before I came to the army. If you will look at the map and find Weirtin you will know where I live. Next thing to tell you about is that I am about 6'3" and part my hair on the left side. My eyes are green and my skin is white,
