Hello Ma, Just a few lines [letting] you know that I'm still feeling fine. And getting fat. I look far better as what I did when I left home so never worry about me. For this is the life I like sleeping in tents. I also wrote to Charlie. I got a post card from him the other day. So [hoping] [you're] all the same at home.
