Dearest Mother,
Just a few lines letting you know that I'm O.K. and in the best of health and hoping that all at
home are the same.
I'm still in the hospital mother, only I just came to this one a few days ago by plane. I'm even
further from the front lines than before. I don't think I'll see any more action mother when my
arm gets better.
My arm is almost better now so I guess I'll be leaving this hospital soon. Don't worry about
anything mother because I'll be O.K. and safe.
Mother my address is changed to 2628th hospital Sec. APO 698 till I get to a permanent outfit,
so until you hear different mother, use that address.
This hospital is in Naples and even nicer than the one I left. The food is swell and we get
plenty to eat.
Well mother I guess this is all for now so I'll close with lots of love to you mother dear,
daddy and the kids.
Your loving Son,
"Jimmy"
