 Dear Sis

Received two letters from you today and was very glad to hear from you. Was sorry to hear you didn't have a good time on your trip to the big city. Well, as you have probably read in the paper, all troops have to be out of Check by the first of Dec., and we are supposed to move this week or the first of next week. So the next letter I write to you will probably be from Germany. I have sent three boxes to Mom from this town so be sure and tell me when she gets them. I am not going to send the radio I've got. I am going to take it with me and will probably send it in 2 or 3 weeks.

I was glad Jack's team won their first basketball game. I have been playing basketball here with the boys we have a pretty nice gym. I hope we have one in the town we move to.

From the way you wrote your last letter, you don't think I know anything about the point system. Well, the 80th in class 1-T, and that is temporary occupation. All of our 65 and 66-pointers left today for the 90th Division and I still have 59 points as we don't get 1 point a month added on as you think. The only way we get points added on now is if we get a decoration or battle stars. And I'm not going to get any. So I still don't know when I will start. So if any more people ask you when your brother is coming home,, you tell them he is coming home the first. The first chance he gets. HA. Well I guess that will be all for this time. I will write you as soon as we get in the new place.

Good night and all my love,

"Bert"
