"Hi Bella! I know this is not the typical way we communicate but after your last letter I felt the need to do this. One of the other soldiers has this machine that records us and we can then send that home so our loved ones can hear our voice. I wanted you to be able to hear my voice, just in case. I am so sorry to hear about Seth. It sounds similar to a soldier that was here a few weeks ago but Emmett worked on him. Speaking of Emmett here he is right now 'Hey Bella, please send more cookies!' Bella ignore him he always thinks with his stomach unless he is in the operating room.
I'm glad you like the doll I sent you Alice said you would love it and I'm glad she helped me. 'Hi Bella' sorry about that but I am in the mess hall right now and everyone keeps interrupting me. 'Don't listen to him Bella we just want our chance to say hi to you as well, Jasper say hi to Bella.' 'Hi to Bella.' Ok that was Alice and Jasper, 'Don't forget me! Hello Bella.'" Sigh "That was Rose. Now that everyone has said hello they are now going to leave me so I can finish this.
Sorry about them but now you have a voice to go along with a name and I have also enclosed a picture of all of us. I want you to trust when I tell you that I am grateful that you not only take the time to write to me but that you also are keeping me in your prayers. I am also not very religious but I appreciate that you care that much about me.
Now that I am alone I can tell you that I have hidden your picture and the guys have no idea that I have this one. They did finally give me my others back but I will keep this one just between you and me. 'Attention, attention everyone report to your stations there is several casualties coming in.' Well I assume you heard that. I must go and try to save some lives.
Thank you for listening to this Bella and for thinking of me. I love hearing from you."
