Dear Russell,
How are you feeling? I hope you are feeling well, because I am. You must be brave to fight in war for us. I wish I could be like you. I heard your going to be in the hospital for a long time. I wish I could take your place so I could be you and you can be me. Now that would be fun. Some day I will send you a card from Gloucester Mass.

missionary in Africa or Asia. Yet still I might be a soldier like you. I belong to a Boy Choir. We had a concert June 5, and June 6. I wish you we're there. There was about 2 [possibly: 60] people there.
I hope you come out of the hospital soon. Maybe some day I'll give you a visit.
Your friend,
Peter Aiello[?]

Memories and notes
No notes yet. Leave a memory or a few kind words for Peter's family.
Every note comes to me first. I only post the ones I've read, and I only show your first name if you say it's OK. I never show an email or phone number.
