Hello Folks,

A few lines to let you know that I received your Bryant bulletin, and it certainly was very interesting. I have been traveling around quite a lot since I last wrote you, and now I'm somewhere in England. You might be inquisitive about the change of rank--well, I'll explain that someday to everybody. Everything over here is all right with me, and hope things with you students are perfect. I just want to impress upon your minds that you are lucky people to be living in the States, for the people over here have so much more hardships to go through. They have seen the war here so always remember that when things get a little tough back home. I'll close now, and will write again in the near future. Take care of yourselves.

Johnny

Hi Everybody

A few lines to let you know that I received your thoughtful Xmas package, and it was appreciated very much. It is things like that, that make things a little pleasanter under circumstances that aren’t too pleasant. I hope everything back at school are going along smoothly. I have received a letter from Ray Mancini a graduate of ’34- he put in over a yr. in Greenland, Iceland, and New Foundland. I am at present deep in Belgium, and have gone a great distance since the day we hit the beach. The weather here is very bad with continuous rain and snow to hamper everything. We are all hoping for good weather, but from now on all the cold winter will be hitting us with everything. I’ll close by saying thank you again for remembering me. Good luck, and happy X-mas and happy new year to you all.

John Gudavich

Dear Bryant friends,

I’m not going to make any formal statement or a long drab speech, but I’ll just say from the bottom of a fellows heart that I appreciate very much your thoughtfulness in remembering me. The package arrived in good order, although it went all over the country following me.

In the Canadian Northwest where there is nothing but prairies and wilderness to look at, and where the temperature hits forty to fifty below zero—you can understand how us fellows appreciate thoughtfulness. There is plenty of wild game up here with the emphasis on deer, so we aren’t so bad off after all.

I’ll close this brief letter by saying Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Thanks again—they were swell.

Sincerely
John Gudavich

Friends,

A few lines to let you know that I haven't forgotten you, but just have been a little busy. I have meant to write to you a long time ago, for I do own you a letter. There isn't anything I can say now, but everything here is going along nicely. I should have studied French a little harder, for it certainly would come in handy right now. I want to say at this time, that we certainly do appreciate everything you have done for us, and it is more that appreciated out here. Well all I can say take care of all yourselves and someday I hope to thank you personally. Let me hear from you, for letters are important out here. Have a good Fourth of July – I will have dandy.

Sincerely

Johnny

Dear Sir:

This is to show my appreciation for your thoughtful package I received a few days ago. It is very hard for a fellow to show his appreciation in writing, so you will have to excuse my blundering around.

You will probably notice that my address has changed temporarily, but what it will be in the near future is beyond me and anybody else. At present we are on maneuvers at this camp in Northern New York and training hard every day.

This is all for now and good luck to you all.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,

John Gudavich [Transcription ends]
