          The text of this letter reads:
"5 Sept. 1943
P.F.C. Cecil L. Cokonougher
Hqs. Btry. 185th F.A. Bn.
A.P.O. 34, N.Y.City

Mrs. Norvel Royse
805 Purcell Ave.
Cincinnati, Ohio

Some-where in North Africa

Dear Friends 
I will write you a few lines this evening to say hello. I am feeling fine and 
still getting along alright. I hope you are all well and O.K. 
I received your letter quite a while ago, but I just never seem to get around 
to writing. You know how it is I guess. I hope Pearl is making it alright and 
tell him I said hello. Tell Dean and Alice I 2 said hello. I sure would like 
to see all of you. Its been a long time since I saw anyone I know at home. 
Pearl was the last one and that was quite a long time ago. 
Yes I got that letter from Bessie but we had a little war to attend to at that 
time, so I didn't get it answered. But I have written since. 
You all must be doing a good job on your work because that stuff you are all 
making is doing a good job for us. It is showing Hitler what a nation like 
ours can do and you don't just know what a swell place our country is till you 
see the rest of the world and have to stay away from your own country. 
Well you know we over here are wondering just how long it will be before we 
can get home and hoping it won't be too long. Well I'll have to say so-long to 
all of you now. 
Your friend
Cecil Cok."
