Wednesday night
Dear “Sis,”
Hope my “Little Brother,” is fine and doing all right, and well and the rest there. I’m still O.K. and doing all right, can’t kick. Been on the roll since a little after 4 this A.M. Still feel fine to make a good night run now.
I got four letters tonight and an Easter card from Miss Ray. Two from January and March 15th and 18th, one from January and March 16th and “Finnie” March 15th. Pretty good service here now. Hope your brother’s mail is still coming there O.K. in bundles.
Today has been pretty chilly here again. We got a load of coal in here again today, boy does it look good. Coal has been like gold lately. Made out pretty good though with sticks that we pick up around. A little light rain is falling now but looks like it won’t last long. The war news really sounds good now. One of the boys just told one a while ago in here, came in from outside and said he had just heard that Patton was lost, said that Gen. “Ike,” called Berlin and told them to let him know at once soon as Patton got there. Boy the rumors and tales that that these G.I.s can’t think up wont bare thinking.
Well I might get to see that alter
after all. They asked me again this A.M. if I wanted a three-day pass and I
told them yes this time. I forgive I will never get this close to that dude
again and it is far enough now. I hope my luck holds hitch hiking like it used
to do over in
Dan wrote me about taking chicken
to Aunt Bessie from down on the farm. Gosh but the back of that
Well “sir” I am glad you like you’re new job so well. Don’t you worry you will soon catch on to everything there and be at home again on it.
Bye now and love to all, take good care of everything and those other two there also.
SO long and keep your nose clean,
Little Brother.
