The first piece of mail Oscar sent after being rescued.It is a V-mail  letter he wrote in January 30, 1945 from APO 920 (Australia). The letter reads:

Dear Mom and Dad:

I am back with the U.S. Army. I got back with the troops about three weeks ago. They don't know what is the matter with my leg yet. I believe some dislocated muscles. I will be on my way back to the States soon. I hope you both are all right. I will write you again as soon I each the States. The doctors say it will take a little time to restore the energy back in my leg. Well i will see you soon in the United States.

Tours Truly

-- Oscar
