Sgt Abbott

Father, we have been several hours in country and have met the enemy. eastern europe is a lot like the forests we used to walk in during the summers, when we lived in the blue house. I hope you and ma are doing well, if baby sister still struggles with her essays remind her that the good reading to writing ratio is four to one, four pages of reading material equals one page of written synapsis. we destroyed a garrison in a small village, after the fight I toured one of the houses and found small tobacco pipe. I know you have all but given up on pipe smoking, but I find it comforting reminding me of our long talks into the evening in the sun room. I hope mom has been able to scrub the yellow off the walls. I love you, I will write again. Your son
