Dear Mr. and Mrs. Fuller, I suppose that this is quite a surprise to you after not hearing from me for so long. How”™s everything back in the Black Hills? One reason that I”™m writing to you is to find out AraBelle”™s address. It so happens that I had the misfortune of losing my ship and I lost everything including her address. I would appreciate it very much if you would send it. I came out of the whole thing without a scratch and when I got back to the states they gave me a three day leave to go home. I sure had a swell time there. Both of you take good care of yourselves and maybe I”™ll see you after the war. Hope to hear from you soon. Love, Gerald A. Robertson
