Dear Al,

I’m awfully sorry I haven’t written to you before this but I’ve been sick in bed with a swollen lip where I got hit and it pains so much I can’t do much of anything. Please excuse writing also. My, but you certainly do write interesting letters. Oh I really like a picture of you. My Grandma is living with us now. You asked me how my Dad likes the Army well, I’m afraid I couldn’t answer that because he never says whether he does or not. I don’t think Ill ever forget that picture “ Batoon”. Boy that was an awful war picture. We just took our tree down today we always leave ours up until after New Years. You asked me if I had a picture of myself no but I’ll get some taken and send you one that’s if you really want one. I probably would break the camera anyway. (Ha-Ha) Well I’ll have to be closing pretty soon I’m running out of words. I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you again but as soon as my lip up. I’ll let you know right away. Well I’ll have to close now. So until soon Please don’t wait as long as I did before your answer.

Love Ramona

XOXO

Write Soon

P.S. Too Bad I can’t wear any lipstick or I would put my lip-print on the paper but I can’t on account of my swollen lip.

Don’t forget to send me that picture. Will you send it in your next letter?
