Somewhere in France

(Postmarked December 8, 1944, but the letter is dated November 30, 1944)

Dear Sis:

Well how are you by this time? I am just fine as usual. I have started to write you two or three times this week but I just can't think of anything to write. But I know you will be worried about me, so I had better finish this one.

The mail has been coming in slow the last few days. I received the letter with the Hitler's last Will and Testament in it. The boys really got a kick out of it. And I received the one with the newspaper clippings in it and also the one with the stick of gum.

I am sending you some French and German stamps to add to your scrap book, and also some French money, the small ones are made in the States but is used the same as regular French money. And I am also sending you a German arm band, you know with the swastika on it, later.

I have been wondering how Jake's team came out with Washington. I hope he does better than he did in Football. And I was surprised he got beat by Wheatland. And tell him I'm sorry I never did answer his letter, but I can't even write you and Mom.

Well I had better close for now will write you again as soon as I have time. Be good and I hope you win the game at Boonville tomorrow night.

Love,

Bruce
