Hello There Helen,
Got your letter today. Thanks a lot. We didn’t get very much for about 3 1/2 months so now when we have mail call here everyone is damned glad to hear what’s happening.
Hey I hear there’s a cigarette shortage in the states. We’ve gone a little over a week on the lines sometimes without getting any, so if the papers back there say what I imagine they’re saying don’t believe them..
That sure was some experience having a fellow stick a gun in your ribs. Will tell you exactly what I would have done. Would have stuck my hands up right away and boy I’m not kidding either. Every time when we started an attack my knees had a quarrel.
Aunt Lillian [Lillian Annette Roberts m. Guy Shrum] sent a picture of Buddy [Guy Addison Shrum, s/o Lillian and Guy]. He sure looks good in his whites. When we both get back, we’ll all have to have a big reunion Maybe Ted [Carl Theodore Renne m. Helen Beatrice Cavanaugh] will be back for a while by then, and Buddy can bring his gal friend and I’ll bring Ebbie and Sambo. That’s what Ebbie has nicknamed him and it will probably stick. Glad to hear about your love life Helen. It’s a hell of a thing when the next to the youngest of the bunch has to start the ball rolling. Maybe Martha [Sam's sister] and Carol [Carol Jean Shrum, d/o Lillian and Guy] will have a little outside interest then too. Damn I’m a vicious little cupid. Ha!
Well Helen there’s not much happening around here in the hospital to write about. We eat, sleep, and read the latest magazines (last July’s). Used to get enough practice on my German to give you some return competition on that Spanish you’re quoting me but can’t put it in this letter because the further behind the lines you get the bigger and better the spy scares go. They -- well I won’t say it, but I’ll be glad to get back to my outfit again anyway. Will write more later. Good luck to you Helen and write again. If you write in the next 3 weeks after you get this, write to the hospital and they’ll forward it. After that write to my outfit. [draws an arrow]
