Need help with translating this photo postcard #2.

Could someone help me with translating this note on the back of a photo postcard. Thank you, Jeanne

This is what I am understanding but it may need some tweaking:

Dear Uncle, I am happy to come to America and to not make money because it is for a short time. See you in April?

Sincere best wishes
from your nephew, Elvidio Lidi?

Io leggo così:
Cara zia
sono contento di venire in America per non fare il soldato perché c'ò(?) più poco tempo appresso(?).
Ricevi più sinceri saluti dal suo nipote Elvidio Lidi
Ci vediamo

Thank you. Once again, I basically wrote down in Italian what you have written here, except I couldn't clearly see the words "soldato" and "appresso" and misread them. What you have written makes much more sense.

The following then might be a better interpretation:

"Dear Aunt
I am happy to come to America not to be a soldier because there is less time later.
(Receive) sincere greetings
from your nephew Elvidio LIdi.
We will see each other soon."

Thank you AngelaGrace56 and mmogno for your translations of Photo Postcard #2. I think that postcard note was written by a nephew of my grandmother, Giovanna Perini, aka Giovanna Liti. She was a foster child of the Liti family since she was born out of wedlock in 1887. She married Pasquale Mazzoli and together they came to Pennsylvania (May 23, 1911) to make their life here.
