Dearest Gee. No letter from you yesterday or today again, so far. Maybe I’ll get one later on tonight. Well, according to the radio announcers and newspapermen, the war was supposed to be over today, wasn’t it? I haven’t noticed it slackening up any around here. The news does sound better day by day butContinue reading “Friday, September 15, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Only got one letter yesterday and it was a v-mail from Coe. Guess I owe her about six months worth of letters. Listened to the war news awhile ago. Those Jerries are really getting the punishment. They aren’t getting any rest at this end either. The Burlington Free of Aug 24 or 28th,Continue reading “Thursday, September 14, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Well, I scrounged a little paper and some envelopes and I have the stamps you so kindly sent so I’ll try a regular letter. Got your swell card and money order for five fish yesterday. Sho thank you. Am I to understand Joannie put some in on it too? That wasn’t quite clear.Continue reading “Wednesday, September 13, 1944”

Dearest Gee. I’ll have to answer all your letters kinda piecemeal since this writing paper is so limited in length. I got three more letters yesterday, two nice ones from you and one from Mom. I got out my forty letters yesterday and reread them. Got a kick out of the bridge club letter. EspeciallyContinue reading “Tuesday, September 12, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Thought maybe you’d like to know I’m still among those present for duty. Have to write these things kinda on the run. I miss my stationary you bought me. I had to borrow this pencil. I believe in traveling light. We still haven’t received any mail yet although some of the fellows have.Continue reading “Sunday, September 3, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Have a few minutes to dash off another line. I’m still okay to date. Haven’t received any mail as yet but maybe there will come a day. The French people are treating us swell. Every time we liberate a town the whole population turns out and it’s like a parade. The wine flowsContinue reading “Tuesday, August 29, 1944”
Friday, August 18, 1944
Dearest Gee. As you undoubtedly know by now, we are somewhere in France. Where, I don’t rightly know myself. I came through okay so far. It was quite a show. I have three or four picture I managed to take. Nothing out of the ordinary. A couple of different batches of prisoners we took andContinue reading “Friday, August 18, 1944”
Wednesday, August 9, 1944
Dearest Gee. Long time no here again. Got a letter from Erv yesterday and that’s all. Maybe tonight I hope, the sack will come in. When I don’t get any letters then I haven’t anything to write about. Haven’t you received that package yet? Lawd, Lawd, wonder what’s the matter? It’s been almost two months.Continue reading “Wednesday, August 9, 1944”
