Well, tonight, I will get at the job of telling you how much I enjoyed getting your swell paper. It has followed me a long way, first to England, over 2 years ago, then to North Africa, to Sicily, England, France, Belgium; and today I received my first copy in Germany. from the states for 2 years, knows what getting home news means. All T can say is-“thanks a million, please keep up the good work.” The place I am at, now, is on the edge of a big town in Germany. It has a large number of civilians in it. We have it in the bag, but the Germans in it won’t give up. Our air force dropped leaflets, today, warning them to either come in, or they would get the big- gest shelling, from artillery, in the war.. I hate to think what will happen to the civilians. Well, Germany started the war, and they are paying for it. I have seen a lot of wrecked homes and home- less people. I am glad they have the war over here and not in the U. S. I will close, for now, with best regards, and again, many thanks. Pfc.

Sometimes its months old when they get it, but just the fact that it gets there at all should convey to all of you that the folks at home are deeply concerned with your welfare and thinking of you daily.
