Letters From Ray: A World War II Army Private's Letters Home - Pt 5


April 4, 1944
Dear Mom and Dad,


I lost my wallet in Palermo just two day before I left the ?dryyoue town and I really miss it…so had all the pictures your sent and plenty of cards.  Damn this war.
                                                                                                Love Ray.











 [SM1]Page 9.  Sounds like he is starting to get worn down a bit from the untimely loss of his wallet.

"Jesus Saves" either ironic or peace of mind, depending on how you look at it.

(end of letter)
