Dear Sirs:
Thank you all from the bottom of
my heart for the card with its Christmas wish. If more people would do
such kind things it would help keep
the morale high with the rest of my
comrades. It means so much to get
an encouraging word from the people
back over there. I am still some
where out of America. Let me thank
you people of Rye and may God bless
you. Say a prayer for me.
From one of your soldiers.

Sincerely,

Pvt. ANTHONY ANGELETTA
