Reno, Nevada
Dear Mother and Anna Ruth,
I am just writing to tell you everything is O.K. even though I am a long way from home. Part of the group that went out the same time I did are going overseas pretty soon and I have been stationed.
This is a nice place, 14 miles from Reno. I am in Chemical Warfare, and I like it. I have a good place to work and feel fine. That is about all I know about the place yet.
I am sleeping in a hanger tonight, and it is cold, so I am going to bed. I will tell you all about the trip as soon as I get a chance. It was very nice, and we saw several interesting things.
Stay as long as you want to Mother, and have a good time. I will be home in about two months I hope.
Love,
George

Tell the boys to be real good. I hope they have a good time and enjoy everything.
Will mail this at noon as I go to town. Got your post card this morning.
Write soon -
Love,
A.R. [Anna Ruth]
