Arthur,

Sorry dude, they had to forward the letter to me so it took longer than usual for me to get it. I totally wish I could tell you but they said that we cant until after the war. Im glad you keep all of my letters though!

Why is it disturbing? Didnt you ever collects bugs and animals and rocks and nests and eggs and stuff when you were a kid? Or did you just sit around… I dont know… sewing or somthing all day?

Why not? We need sombody to be around trillions of years from now to show them what it was like! wouldn't it be awesome to be able to go back in time and see history? I wish I could do that. Maybe even change some stuff. Or not. I don't know.

Theres totally alot of abandond places in New York! Especialy warehouses. You can't swim? I'll totally teach you then! Don't worry, ill hold onto you and wont let you drown. I still don't get why you british dudes call cookies biscuits… its totally confusing. But if you want ill totally take you to the teahouse! I wonder if it has burgers… dude, I could totally kill for a burger and shake right now!

Of course I remember your garden! It was very nice, thank you for letting me come to your house for dinner that time! Your food was *something scrawled out* really good! You should cook for me again someday. that's my charge for being your hero! Dinner! I really like roses. They are my favorite flower. What is yours?

Yep! I totally love my birthday!

I totally will! I need to keep anybody else from dying! Listen to Vera Lyn's music… every time I hear well meet again I think of coming back from the war to you. But don't play the radio. If they have any war updates itll totally just upset you and keep you from sleeping and I want you to sleep because they say its bad for the body if you don't get enough sleep and that you'll die sooner because of that and I don't ant you to die sooner or later or ever. *last two words crossed out*

Dude, if it wasn't for the war…. I wouldn't have met you.

*written in very tight, small letters and smeared a bit* theonly thingbetterthan flyingwasbeing withyou

Aww, come on dude! I've already started growing the sideburns, just for you! And the long Uncle Sam beard!

So you think Im a hero?

Tell me what you meant, pleassse?

They're doing fine. They asked if you can make them svarves to but I told them no because you'll just make them for me and they arent awesome enough to get special things from you. And they sort of think…uhh..thatyourachick

Its going to go gray if you keep worrying! HA! You totally spelled a word wrong! Its GRAY not grey!

Your hero,

A1C Alfred F. Jones

THANKS! *a drawing of what his new uniform patch looks like*

PS. You can have it…

PPS. It totally hadnt been developed yet. But here it is! *Sends a picture of himself in his uniform, cap crooked to match the charming grin on his face, dog tags and locket obviously hanging down outside of his shirt, eyes sparkling even from the photograph.*

PPPS. Since you send me quotes I will send you quotes of things the dudes here say.

"Jones! Did did you eat my portions again! You stupid fat American! I'm going to get you in your sleep!" I thought you would find that funny. that's the scotish dude I fly with. His name is Marcus. But I call him Lock*crossed out* Loch
