Letter from Vietnam

Dear Grandma & Grandpa:


How is everybody doing? I am just fine. Grannie, I won't be home for thanksgiving, but I might be for Xmas. I sure am going to miss that big dinner, but you can save me some chicken and dumplings for Xmas? How is Grandpa doing? Tell him I'm still hanging on. Well, I've been in the army six months now, and I still hate it. If you see Carlos, tell him to write me. It sure gets lonesome here. I don't do anything but sleep. Like right now it's 2:00; I just got up. It sure would be nice if I had some chocolate chip cookies, but that's life.
Well Grannie not much else to say. Tell Grandpa I love him.

                All my love
