Dear Em.

Ive sent to the company for my mail for I havent received any as yet since around the 20^th of July. Im hoping it gets here before I leave the hospital to rejoin the company for it will mean quite a while before I get it if I dont intercept it here. Ive regained all my strength but my stumack is still a little out of the way. I know if I could get ahold of some of your mail I would have something to say, for there is very little of interest to speak of in a hospital.

The war news is very incouraging and I look for a big break soon. That will be a happy day beleive me. Ive got to continue sending my mail to 297 until I get your mail letting me know where you now live. Gee I would like to get a few letters from you. I hope Pa, Lena, Bert and yourself is O.K. for it seems an age since Ive heard from you.

Give my regards to All the rest

Sam.
