"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，我只说几句话，但你得知道我很好，希望你也是。我现在已经习惯了我的机关枪。我不能说我非常喜欢用那枪打死人，但我相信我很高兴知道如何使用。在晚上这里非常安静。我也期望战争尽快结束。你应该很快就能收到我的支票。我们即将到达最后时刻。我在一次游戏中赢了一些钱，希望你可以用到。是时候睡觉了。我会想念每个人，爱你的儿子。”
