Hi Darling

Remember me? A bad penny always returns you know. I hope I didnt [sic.] cause too much worry for you all - that's the sad part of it all.

This pen is indeed poor so excuse my sorry attempt. As soon as I get back to the base tomorrow, I'll write you a big long letter

We're all okay and in perfect trim so please don't worry-

Give my love to mom + dad and everyone. Forgive such a short note, but I do want you to get this right away

All my love

Kenje
