This is Dad's final letter home to his parents in 1945. He then had to wait 6 months before Mum was to join him in the USA.

The journey, not the destination, is all important. This is my adventure following the things that take my interest and spike my curiosity. I am passionate about the creative process which can be applied to every area of life.

Letters Home WWII (17) August 11 1945
Dad doesn't say much of anything in this letter. He's using the V-mail, short for Victory Mail, is a hybrid mail process used during the Second World War in America as the primary and secure method to correspond with soldiers stationed abroad. To reduce the logistics of transferring an original letter across the military postal system, a V-mail letter would be censored, copied to film, and printed back to paper upon arrival at its destination.
It doesn't give him a lot of space to write a longer letter.
