ATF-033-70: Love letter to Tran Van Long (Company Commander of C2/D445)
English literal translation:
"To: Dear Long,
Today, I write this letter to you. Firstly I would like to know how your health is and if you interest in working?
Long, during the period of time that I was captured by the enemy and living in the 4 walls of darkness, I thought that you still waited for me until I came back so that we can meet and talk to each other. I did not know that you change. But the story has passed, I want no one to remind me.
I have heard that once you joined the Revolution you would never change your allegiance. It was possible that late 2 or 3 years, you changed already, you did not remember anymore, did you?
Long, why didn't you tell me before. Now you tell me, it has already passed. I have seen many men who has been married but they still have concubines. You and I just knew each other, I do not blame you.
The story has passed, you shouldn't introduce that I am your fiancee or that we just engage. I hope that you say nothing. See me as a stranger.
Please send my regards to brothers in unit, I wish them well and gain many achievement during the year.
Bye. Your acquaintance without name."
