Dear Sis:
Well I think it s about time I was writing you a few lines. Its been so long since I last wrote you I almost forget your address. I don't even remember the last letter I wrote to you, and I'm sorry for not writing more often. Well I guess you would like to know what I have been doing since the ware ended. We have been taking it pretty easy. We were going to a lake for rests a few at a time, but now the whole outfit has moved to a big lake. It is really nice around here. Some of the fellows have motor boats, but I have a big blister on each hand from wowing. I have some pictures I am inclosing that were taken around here. They didn't come out so good but I have the negatives and can be made better at home. I can't send them in the mail.
I guess you are wondering what the German writing means at the top of this paper. Well I don't know either (HA) all I know is the last word. It is the name of a town we were in a few weeks ago. Me and some of the fellows took some pictures of the Nuremberg Stadium, you have read about it haven't you? That's where Hitler used to make his big speeches. But they (the pictures) didn't come out as it was to dark.
I received a letter from Bob N. the other day. I will have to answer it tomorrow. And I also have two more money orders to send to mom, my bank roll should be getting pretty big.
In one of your letters Jake put T.S. on it about the rifle I promised him. I guess I waited to long. I can't find any good ones now they have all been broken up or burned. But I have two German pistols and I'll give him one of them when I get home. It will be better anyway. Bot the fellows over here that haven't got any will pay almost anything for them. And by the way did you ever get the package of German "junk?'
Well I guess I had better say so long for this time as it is getting late. But before I do I just remembered something else I wanted to tell you. I guess you have been hearing about the point system, well I only have 41 points so it looks like I'll be seeing some more of the world before long. but we are hoping for furloughs, and I think we will get them. That is all for this time.
Hoping to see you soon.
Love,
Bert
