Dear Mother & Dad,
Just think, two years ago today we landed at Fedala, Africa. We were on French soil then and two years later we’re still on it. I hope this damn war soon ends so I can set foot on some good old American soil. Had a letter from Snook, and he is getting along Okea. You probably know more where he is that I do. He said he was getting plenty of mail. Our mail is starting to roll in now. I guess they had other stuff to haul that was more important then mail. So far, I have received five Christmas packages, also received a letter from Ormond, he was on the Normandy front in a replacement depot. By now he should be a reassigned. Well it won’t be long until Christmas. Maybe one of these days we will get a break in I might be able to buy some presents. Not much to write about. I’m Okea, and I hope all of you are the same. By By and I love you both very much.
Your Son,
Chick”
