Dear Rita, & Family
I still have to answer your letter from Dec 18th so will take this chance to drop you a line.
I received a letter from mother today telling me I'm the proud poppa of a baby girl. I think I'm the happiest man alive and can't express myself in words or writing. I only wish I could be there to see her, she must be wonderful.
I'm staying in a little house with a store in front in a small town behind the lines. We had a little excitement tonight when a Robot Bomb dropped in to pay a call. They are frequent visitors here. The other day they shot down a Jerry plane that tried to do some sneak straffing (I have no idea what this word means). Loads of fun!!!
I have a stinker of a cold, and don't feel too well, but this news today sure is peping me up.
I hope you all are well, will tell you lots of true exciting stories when I get home.
Well for tonight Loads of love to you all
from your brother
Joe
