Dear Joe,

Received your V- Mail letter and I sure was glad to hear from you, and that you are well and happy. As for us, we are just fine.

We got a letter from Stan last week, and he is just fine. He is some where in the Pacific, but couldn’t say where. I will give you his address so you can write to him. I know that he will be glad to hear from you.

His address:

Pvt. Stan R. Kazkas 33630696

Station 19, Pvt, A2c

A.P.O. #502

We had a very nice Christmas. I spent an old fashioned day at home with my family. Mother and Dad. Gave me my High School ring and was I happy. I didn’t even know that I was going to get it, and you can imagine how happy I was. I hope you had a nice one. Richmond was very cold. Boy! I bet it will snow soon and will I be glad, for I love snow. It rained all day Christmas.

All the kids on Main St. are just fine. All growing up, especially Faris.

Hey Joe, that is all I have to write for now except do write sometimes for it makes me very happy to hear from my friends. Well, so long.

I remain,

As ever,

Sophie

P.S. “Rob Hope” is on the radio, and he is making me laugh so much. Ha! Ha! You know that silly guy.
