Germany

Dear Mom –

Just a line to say that I’m OK – I can now tell you that I am near Limburg, Germany. Not far from Frankfort – we’re on the German super high way – the Auto bahn.

I wrote the other night and asked you to write a letter for me – after thinking it over I think it would be best if you sent it to me in with my letter and I’ll look it over and then pass it on – you can put it in an envelope – address it but leave it unsealed – then put it in another larger envelope and send it to me – I think it would be better this way – so do that will you please - & thanks a million –

Tell Sinnie to write sometime. Did I tell you that I heard from Mary Gresham and that she’s to be married – also heard from Henry Femill and he and Maxine are infanticipating in October. So I won’t know the old bunch. Write soon – and send that letter – you know what to say.

Love Joseph
