Post card, to Mrs. Henry Specht, from Owen Town, 1943



Constantine - Une Rue du Quartier Arabe

Dear Mom,

Just a few lines to let you no that I am all right.  This is a market street here in Africa.  I have been down it and that the way it looks only there is more [ ] around and they just get in your way.  The streets are narrow and you can not walk on the side walk because their is no sidewalk to walk on.

Well with love
Owen

Dear Mom,

Just a few lines to let you know that I am all right and feel good. but it is damp here in England.  Mom this is the church I went to in England for the third year (? not sure) of war and it sure is pretty inside and it is big.  I wish you could see it.  Mom please tell Avis to take care of herself because she has me worried the way she writes in her letters and tell all the kids I said Hello, and hope you are all well and in good health.

I will close with love,

from Owen
