July 31, 1945 - Germany

Dear Sis:

How are you by this time? I am just fine as usual. We have moved since I last wrote to you. We are now in Buchloe. It is about 50 miles from where we were before. It is a much better town than the other, as we have a swimming pool and a club where we can buy drinks and they are going to have dances later on. We are living in civilian houses here. I have a very nice bed. There are two men in each room and we have 2 bath rooms in the house.

I haven't heard any more news as to when we will come home but I hope it will be November instead of December as I think I would be home for Christmas then.

I was glad to hear Jake got a school for next year. But I wish he would have got a coaching job instead. But maybe he will get one yet.

Your mail has been coming in slow as I told you in the other letter most of the air mail is going by ship. Vmail still goes by air but I would rather write a little longer and get a good letter.

You probably wonder what we do in the day time. We haven't been having any training since we have been here but next week we are going on a problem. I don't know whether I will have to go or not as some of us have to stay here and keep the houses.

Well I guess that's about all for this time I will try to write again the last part of the week. Until then be good, and don't work to hard.

All my love,

Bert
