Dear Sis:
Well, I guess it is about time I was writing you a few lines to let you know that I am still as good as ever. Sorry, I haven't written sooner but I have been plenty busy. And your mail has been coming in very slow too.
We heard some pretty good news this morning. We heard that the Russians were in Berlin, I sure hope it's not just a rumor. It looks as if we'll be seeing the Russians soon. I didn't think the war would last this long. But maybe I'll be home for next Christmas.
I received a letter from Tommy D. on one of Mom's letters, I was sure surprised to hear from him. And I didn't know he was in the 80th too. I guess he's a pretty lucky fellow but I hope they don't send him to the South Pacific.
Well, I haven't heard from Bob N. anymore since I wrote him that last letter, have you? I guess he is on the move pretty much too. Gerald McGee hasn't answered that letter I wrote to him either.
I guess you have been wondering if I got the news about Roosevelt dying, I got the news not long after he had died. I wonder what Dad thinks about it?
I can't think of anything else to write so I guess I'll have to say so long for this time. I'll try to write sooner next time. I'll try to write sooner next time.
Love,
"Bert"
PS - Be sure and tell me when you get the package I sent.
