=//**TO MY BELOVED MOTHER**//=

//I received your letter of February 18th. I would like to thank you for this the letter by writing this letter to you. It gives my happiness to hear from you, to hear that you are alive, well and live a happy life. When I received your letter I felt very bad by leaving you at home, because of my one fault.

I have been here one month now, but I’m shore that you are counting the days likewise as me. I hope you will forgive me for this. I had thought about how you will accept my letter, and I think that you will be emotional and happy. All I can say is that my life here is very good, but I miss you and my daughter.

You now I have to spend time to find a nice and rich husband. He has to be a good father to my daughter, you have to like him and I have to love him. I met a nice man yesterday, I am going to meet the same man today. He is the nicest man I ever met. I hope I will get to know him better.

I now that you are taking good care of my daughter. I hope that you like to spend time with her. I’m very glad to have you taking good care of her. I don’t have any other to take care of her, so I am very grateful to have you Mother! I wonder how my daughter has it, because she was very sad when I leaved. She has been thought much you now. Since her father died. But beyond that you are writing in the letter it inaudible me like she is living a good time living by you. Tell my daughter that I have a nice life here and that I am sad to be so sow long away from her.

I will like to tell you about my trip to America and my first meeting with the country: The boat we sailed to America was a little bit small to all the people who were taking it. The boating trip was nice. The sea was dead calm so I didn’t get the seasick. While sailing we didn’t see land before we came to America. The first place we came to when we arrived America was Ellis Island. The first ting we had to do was to take testes who decided if we were able to live in America. We took testes as write and read American and our health. I was nervous about the reading and writing because American is a little strange. I past the testes. When the testes were over we sailed the boat into the mainland. I took the train to Ohio the same day.

I hope that you have got the answers that you wondered and had to no about me and my life in America. I am waiting for the next letter!. Write to me soon.

Love you mother.//

=**RAPPORT FROM THE LIFE IN THE VIETNAM WAR TO MY SWEETHEART JENNY**=

//I’m writing to you to say that all is all right whit me. I am writing to you as often as I can to stop you from worrying about me all the time. I’m very sorry to leave you at home alone, but I had to because of my compulsory military service. I am having a very ruff time here. I miss you a lot and I want to leave this place immediately for you!. Last week I got a message from the general that I could have a week leave of absence with pay to see you. Sow I am very happy if I can see you!.

The situation here is untenable to live a normal life in. I am glad you don’t see this situation I am in now. My impression of the war is that this is really a war. It’s nothing to make jokes of. Someone say: War isn’t really as you see it on movies. Well, they’re wrong. The fact is: It is much horrible in the realness compare to movies. For example yesterday my best friend, Jimmy died. We stood at the front to front whit another military group and they were starting to scoot against us. Not long after they had begun to scoot I saw the bullet hit Jimmy and the blood was streaming from him. I was at the same place as him but I stood long away from him. I am very glad that I don’t stood there, if I did I would be dead by now!. I don’t want to think about how you would fell if I died to. I am very glad I survived for your and my own fault. I wanted to tell you about this episode because to give you a feeling about how it’s like to take part in a war. I hope you don’t get scared or afraid of something should happen to me. It can happen, but I can not promise you anything because all happens sow suddenly here.

This was all I had to write for you this time. I don’t have anything else on my heart so I want to tell you.

Write to me soon!. I will come home soon on a compulsory military service so I hope to see you when I got it because that’s the only chance I have to see you for a very long time. See you soon!//


 * LOVE FROM YOUR HENRY**
