United States, a soldier’s letter to his mother finally arrives at its destination: 76 years later

NEW YORK – “We’ll see you soon, mom. I hope ”, wrote the young sergeant of the American army on December 6, 1945 John Gonsalves, 22, from the World War II front in Germany. The letter, addressed to her mother in Woburn, Massachusetts, reached its destination last month, after a seventy-six-year oblivion, reappeared out of nowhere six weeks earlier – and in an inexplicable way at the moment – in a US post office on the east coast. .
