My Dear Captain Ilfrey.
You son of a b***h! You and that God-d****d Eddie Rickenbaker Give me a pain in the a**!
How dare you shoot down my brand new Messerschmidts with that forked-tail airplane you fly. You are a devil.
We offered you grossen gelt to stay out of our skies and confine yourself to chasing those stupid Italians in their god-d****d Macchis! But you refused. You won't even take a bribe. What the h**l kind of banker will you make?
If those Portugese dumkoffs knew what they were doing you'd be up to your a** in a bait tank mit all of dem sardines.
Also, Hauptmann, I don't like being reffered to as "Adolph Garbonzo". My name is Galland G-A-L-L-A-N-D! One time we had a bomb with your name on it but one of our schweindhund Italian bomb-handlers blew the god-d****d thing up on the ramp along with eleven Messerschmidts! Nothing works right when you are involved.
I don't know how you slipped through our fingers when we shot your a** down in France. I heard you put on your best suit and were mistaken for a peasant - - - you sneaky Texas snake.
In spite of all the trouble you have made for me and all the bulls**t I've taken from Herr Georing because of you, I forgive you. I am sending Baron Von Heinz two medals to present to you: The famous "Blue Max" and the "Knight's Cross With Swords and Oak Leaves."
Incidentally, I have re-named my 109 "Happy Adolph's Go Buggy".
