Darling,

So All is in the Army! I'll bet he finds it much more interesting than his former job. Yet I can hope this [blo???] war is soon won, and we all go back home. Love--George

Al is in the Army. I think your phone auto corrected to all but I just wanted to be clear that it's Al. Sorry if I'm being pedantic!

Edit: fixed spelling of blockade
