Germany

Dear folks,

Well I’ll try to write a few lines, I’m in the 3’rd Army and I’ve seen a little action not bad, but its certainly rough. I’ve seen Saarlantern and quite a few other German towns. The German people didn’t live too bad. I get my mail pretty regular, although I don’t get a chance to write as often as I would like too. I’ve never seen Paris yet, but I can tell you that any town in the States will certainly beat it, regardless of size Lenore said that. Jacklin and Lenord had been ill, but were O.K. now. I certainly will be glad to get home and just settle down for a while. I’m tired of this cross country going, the hard way, but I’m proud to say I’m an Infantryman, one of the best darned outfits in the Army. It can’t be beat. I’ll have to close, I need sleep-bad

Your loving son

Jackie
