RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Rachel Martin. A few months after World War II had finally ended in 1945, Sergeant² John Gonsalves wrote home to his mother from his posting in Germany. He assured her he was fine and said the food was lousy. That letter got lost in the mail for 76 years, until last month, when it turned up unopened in a Pittsburgh post office and was finally delivered to Gonsalves' widow. She said it was amazing to see his handwriting and a snapshot of the past. She told Boston 25 News, imagine that - 76 years. It's MORNING EDITION.

主持人RACHEL MARTIN：

早上好，我是瑞秋·马丁。1945年第二次世界大战终于结束几个月后，约翰·贡萨尔维斯中士在德国任职期间写信给母亲。他向她保证自己很好，并说食物糟透了。这封信在邮件中丢失了76年，直到上个月，它在匹兹堡的一家邮局里未被打开，最后被送到了贡萨尔维斯的遗孀那里。她说看到他的笔迹和过去的快照真是太棒了。她告诉波士顿25新闻，想象一下——76年。这是早间版。
