Page 1 of Letter 0005 of Lot 0010

Dear Roy: We are all well and hope you are the same. We wonder are you somewhere in Africa yet going places fast we wish you and all your buddies good luck. Just been listening to the news heard Sdeater and Winchell. Hope you are getting the letters all of us are sending you. I sent two letters on Apr 14th telling you that Buckey Steel Castings Company has sent you another letter and one to give your Commanding Officer for your release as they want you to work in the electrical maintenance department. They are releasing the men over here over 38 and we heard that the men overseas are to be released if they have a defence job. I wrote this in so many letters because some of the mail gets lost you should have the Buckeys first letters by this time if they didn't get lost. Love Mother & Dad.
