Somewhere
June 16, 1944
Dearest Mother & Dad,
The mail has really been good the last two days. I have received about a dozen letters. I got one from Carl Anderson that was really swell. It was really newsy. I surely do like him. He is a regular fellow. He wrote some very nice things to me.
I also got a V-mail from Dot Cooke saying that Troy Daffern had completed his missions in Europe and was home. If I remember correctly, I left home before he did. Seems like some people have all the luck. Nevertheless, your number three was perfect. Jack Mullins is not around yet but part of his company is here. He will probably be up soon to check-up on them. Haven’t seen Rosebrough yet, but I imagine he is at the place where Mullins used to be some time ago. I would like to see him. The Japs I have seen didn’t have any use for their teeth so Charlie won’t have to worry with them.
I hope you like the news from here. We have been trying to make it good but it is a mighty hard task. You can’t imagine how tremendous everything is. It is beyond me, but if we intend to win it has to be that way. I don’t know of anything I can tell you so maybe I had better stop. I am still O.K. so please don’t worry about me. I’ll admit I am very tired of it all for the present. I’ll be very glad to get a rest. I have no idea when I’ll get to go home but I hope it won’t be too long.
Keep the letters coming, they are life savers and I don’t mean perhaps. I haven’t received the chain nor the stationery yet but I am sure I’ll get it soon. Our send class is still held up.
All my love,
Son
