June 6, 1945 Somewhere in Austria

 Dear Sis

Just a few lines to let you know that I am still O.K. You have probably been wondering why I haven't written sooner. Well I just got back from the hospital. I was there about 2 weeks. But I am just as good as ever now. I had an abscess on my right hand, and a big boil on top of my head. This was the first boil I ever had. And my hand was swollen up about twice as big as it should be. 

Well, we are still wondering what they are going to do with the 3rd Army. We hear new rumors every day. Mom thinks I am coming home now because she hasn't been hearing from me. But I haven't heard anything yet. I am now in Bad Ischl, Austria. I don't know whether you can find it on your map or not as it is a small place. And before we moved here we were in Gmunden about 25 miles from here.

I have several pictures I am sending you. And will send some more later as the lady that took them is enlarging some for me. I received the 6 pictures you sent and linked them very much.

Well I guess I had better say so long for this time. Will try to write again very soon.

All my Love

"Bert"
