Letter to his parents and brothers, in full (spelling and grammar retained): “Just a short letter to let you know that the watch I asked for got here 2 day’s ago & in good shape. Thanks a lot for all the trouble. I’ll sent my other watch back later on. Right now I’m having a crystal & stem put on. I’ll also sent my ring home It was given to me by some folks in Chicago. They were also Indian’s. Its a yellow gold ring with a touch of pink gold & a red stone which is garnett. In other words it’s my birthstone ring for January. It cost 39 smacker’s for em, they should of took the price tag off. Im allright, & as I said time again & again please do not worry, I couldn’t be any happier. I got the paper’s a while back ago. And was glad to know what the scope was back home. I’ll bet Dean & Kenny are really getting their full of watermelon’s. Damn I wish I was too. Well I think I’ll close here till next time.” Hayes signs his name in the lower left corner of both pages, “Cpl. Ira H. Hayes.” In fine condition.
