September 30, 1945 - Kraslice, Czechoslovakia

Dear Sis:

Just a few lines to let you know I am still alive if you have been wondering. We are now in Kraslice, Czechoslovakia. It is about 275 miles from Landsburg, and I don't like it here. The people are most all Germans, but they are different. They all speak German, and they all have to wear armbands to show that they are Germans. And boy! there are plenty of girls, but they aren't as nice as the ones in Germany. You asked me if I had ever been out with any girls over here and how we talked to each other. Well, I'm getting so I can a pretty good conversation in German. And you can make them understand with your hands. HA

Well it doesn't look like I will get home this year so you can send the packages if it's not too late and I don't care what you send I can use anything but there is one thing I have in mind. I would like to have some good American fire water. HA So, see if you can get away with it. And if you don't think you can, do this...get some hair tonic bottles and fill them up. And be sure the bottles are up to the top, so they don't gurgle if someone shakes the package. That's how the other boys get it sometime.

Well, I guess that's about all for this time. I'll write again very soon. (Did I say that in the last letter?)

All my love,

Bruce
