Dear Alfred,

It's good to hear from you finally! I've missed you so much you have no idea.

Every day I've been praying that you're safe. Just getting this letter from you makes me relieved that you're okay. I hope you're doing well and you're not hurt. Don't worry; I haven't flirted with anyone or any girls for that matter.

College has been great; I've been doing quite well. My grades have been great, no failing grades this semester! Haha, that sucks that the bugs are so huge over there!

And I do hate this war. I hate that I can't hold you in my arms anymore. I hate that you have to be over there and not over here. I want you back. I can't wait to see you.

I miss you so much babe, write back soon!

Your love forever,

Matthew Williams
