1945 –
Dear Mom-
Here I am back at work again. We’ve taken over for another hospital and I’m working nights again – At present I’m sitting up with three brain cases that are not wholly conscious and are liable to get out of bed – We took them out of the regular ward as they moan and keep the other patients awake –
Today was a busy day – making the exchange of cots, linen, blankets, etc and taking care of the patients at the same time. We’re pretty well set now however and all is well –
Today is Ginnie’s birthday I wrote her a short note some time ago - Tell her to write to me sometime –
I guess Gene’s leave is up and he is off to points unknown. Gee I certainly hope he doesn’t have to go to the Pacific right away. Hope he gets a break and is stationed in the states for a while.
I mailed you a package the other day with some odds and ends. Nothing in particular – just some souvenirs – and a bunch of pictures. Keep them for me please.
The deeper we move into Germany the more beautiful the countryside gets. The bomb damage to factories, etc. is terrific. I can’t see how they can last much longer.
I haven’t had a letter from you in days – hope everything is ok. Please write as often as possible. Mail means a lot.
So long for this time.
Love,
Jack
