Prisoner of War Son
Dear Mom:
Will write you a few lines to
day to let you hear from your son
I am feeling- fine and hope you
are the same. Tell Gladys and
Betty 1 said hello and that I'd sure,
like to see them. I could sure use
some cigarettes if you will check
with the Red Cross and find out
how much and all those details
about sending me a package.. I
need smoking tobacco, for a pipe
is OK. If possible send me a coup
le pairs of socks and some hand
kerchiefs. If you can I’d like some
oatmeal and rai ins and dried
fruits. Things that wont spoil and
will cook up fairly easy. Powdered
eggs and so on. I’ll write again
as soon as possible. Don’t worry,
I’m not bad off here. I’m waiting
to hear from you.
Your son,
RALPH
