January 25, 1945 – Somewhere in Luxembourg

Hello Sis:

Well, here I am again, and I guess it’s about time. I haven’t been to busy the last few days but have been too lazy to write, I guess.

I have been getting plenty of mail the last few day, but there all mixed up. I got some written January 9th and some as far back as December 20th. So, it makes it hard to keep up with the news at home. I got one letter saying you beat Petersburg, and about a week later I got one saying that you were playing then that night. But I’m glad you bet them anyway.

I’ve been wondering about this draft. Tell Jack if he has to go up for another exam to try his best to get in the navy. Because I hate to see anybody that has to go to this infantry.

I was just thinking about one letter I got from you. You asked me if we go our evenings off, and don’t you think that is a funny question to ask? Don’t you know there is a war going on over here? But I guess it is hard for you to think of what I am doing, and it is hard to explain in writing. All I can say is, War is hell. I guess you have heard that one before.

I have your basketball schedule looking at it now and have been wondering how you did in the Wabash valley. Hope you won it. And I would like for you to send me a list of the games that Bicknell has played this year and the score of them. I have some of them but missed out on some of them. I also see where you play Princeton the 30th and I hope you beat them anyway.

Well, I have run out of anything to say so guess I will have to close for this time. Until next time I will just say so long.

Love,

Bert
