February 23, 1943.

Dear Cousin Milton,

We received your Valentine and were very happy to hear from you. I hope you are feeling fine as everyone here is. We heard from your brother in Massachusetts and he said he was going to visit us. I expect to be in Service by March 15 as I’ve been reclassified. I hope I’ll be sent near you. Hope to hear from you again. P.S. I expect to visit your parents this week.

Your Cousin,

Hyman Smyle
