Saturday December 9, 1944 Somewhere

Dear Sis -

Well how are you by this time? I am just fine, and hope this letter finds you as well. Have received several letters from you the last few day and decided it was about time I was writing you a few lines.

 I haven't been doing much the last few days, except clean my jeep and trailer and boy was it a job. I had mud that has been on it ever sense I left Toul. And then I had to grease it and paint the rusty spots and that is what I have to do when I am resting. (ha ha) Well anyway it is good to get a rest. You see we are living in houses and believe it or not I have a bed and it has a real sheet on it. (ha ha) What a life, but it makes me homesick.

I see from your letters that Jake is having bad luck with his basketball team again this year. Tell him I said to get on those boys ass, and make them win a game. That's the way they do us guys. And I know he can do the same.

I was sure glad to hear you have finally got a car. I mean another car. (ha) And I hope it doesn't play out on you like so many have already. Well I had better wind this up as it is getting late and I have to write to Mom. I will try to write again about Monday.

So long for this time and,

Love, Bert

PS I have been receiving all the gum.

If you can get fruit juice I would like to have you send me some. Write soon.
