"Hello Dad, just a few lines to let you know I'm well and hope you all are too. Finally I've got used to my machine gun. I can't say that I much like using it to shoot against people but I'm sure that I'm glad to know how to. It's very quiet here in the evening. I think the war maybe come into an end soon. You should be receiving my check soon. It will be a little more than last time. I won some money in a game and figure you could use it. Well, time to turn in. I should do miss everyone. Love, Arhie."

“你好，爸爸，我只說幾句話，但你得知道我很好，希望你也是。我現在已經習慣了我的機關槍。我不能說我非常喜歡用那槍打死人，但我相信我很高興知道如何使用。在晚上這里非常安靜。我也期望戰爭盡快結束。你應該很快就能收到我的支票。我們即將到達最后時刻。我在一次游戲中贏了一些錢，希望你可以用到。是時候睡覺了。我會想念每個人，愛你的兒子。”
