Some Pictures While Dad was on Furlough

(Postmarked April 4, 1944)

Dear Sis:

Well, how is my little sister today? I am still just fine. Well, it looks like the hot weather has come to stay out here and I am sure happy about that anyhow. I sure will be glad when we start wearing khakis as these O.D.’s sure get on your nerves. Well, we are still in Haan and guess we will stay here for a good while.

I went on a pass over the weekend. Had a pretty good time. Went to L.A. Did you ever hear of Rose La Rose? Well, me and a buddy went to see her. Boy is she hot stuff.

I haven’t seen Bob for about a week now. Well, I don’t feel like writing tonight, so I will cut it short and besides that all the news anyway. So, I will sign off.

Love,

Bert

P.S. Will send the paper tonight.

Back to Camp Haan.

Hi Sis:

How are you today? I am fine and dandy. We came back to Haan last Friday and I am sorry I didn’t write sooner. Well after all that good hitting, we got before, we didn’t do any good before the two star General, but that’s usually the way it is. We all felt badly about it. I guess we were all too excited to do any good.

We are still in Haan and haven’t got any idea what we are going to do. We all think we will have to go out to Camp Irwin again. I went out on pass last weekend. Went to L.A. and Ocean Side Park. And had a pretty good time. I have three pictures I am sending, thought you would like them.

Well, Friday is payday that one day in the month we all look forward to. I still have $25 left from last month as did pretty good at the crap games. But not with your dice. I got rid of those long ago. I have been going to the show about every night. I saw Up in Arms last night. I see Bob about every day or two and he is looking pretty good. Well, I guess I will close for this time. Will try to write you again this week. So until then, I will say so long. Be good.

Love,

Bert

P.S. Received your candy today and it is pretty good. At least they boys think so. Also the picture of my gold old Dad.
