Dear Ben + All:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just now finished reading your Vmail so before I go to bed I will scratch off a few lines to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glad that all of you keep well. I am still all in one hunk and feel just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the way you mentioned getting one of my checks. How many did you get? I don’t even know how many I had send home. I guess it dose not make any different. i know you will take care of it for me. When you get one of my checks near or before Christmas. I want you to take about $15.00 and buy the kids and Helen and you anything you need. I usually try and send one home every other month. The other I put in the Army saving deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boy you did have good luck to get two pheasants the opening day. Boy! I’ll bet they were good. I can almost smell them cooking as I write this. I wonder if you hit any with that automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well things are still running the same. Right now we are back in Belgium for a rest. We sure had a rough time of it through the Siegfried line. We are having a nice rest. See quite a few picture shows. Aslo saw one U.S.O. Show, was good too. I hope we stay back here for duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I suppose you are busy with the corn. I hope you have lots of it. I wish i was home so I could take a stroll through your farm and check on different things. Ha. Ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather is still damp and plenty of rain. But so far it has not froze. plenty darn cool in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell Art I said hello. And ask him if they run out of ink in Petersburg. Ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh! yes., while back here on rest the Company got us 10 kegs of beer it tastes good but this Belgium beer is only 1% not much kick. The wine is good if you can fine it not too much up this way. Well this is from your bro Felix. Write Soon.
