Description
English: "May 4, 1942

Dear Dad:

Just a few lines to let you know I am still in the best of health, but rather far behind in my correspondence.

As you can probably see, from my return address, I have been promoted, and I can now actually say that I am really enjoying this war.

We were transferred over two months ago, but naturally I am unable to say, or hint, where we are at the present. From now on the letters you receive will be very irregular, but you remember the old saying, “no news is good news”.

This is about my limit in both time and inspiration.

Love,

Ed E.L. Parke"
