But so far nothing has come. When it did come I was going to answer right away. That I received it. But now I decided to write so now I suppose as soon as I mail this. I will get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Things are about the same over here plenty darn rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I will send you a Stars and Stripes paper on of these days. Lately all the news was about the other armies, So when some good news is in about our army I will try and send it to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way that was my mistake about your Middle initial I don\u2019t know how I happened to give you that one maybe I wrote after one of our exciting days I will put the correct one on this time. \u201cHope you understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Well! Well. So Lucille will probably be your Neighbor yet. With a Ida address. Well she is getting one Swell guy. I hope she don\u2019t muff this deal up.<br> <br> I guess this war will have to hurry up. about time I start looking for some Squaw. How the heck do you spell that? I guess you will know. Gosh this war is making me bald headed and gray hair when I get home you won\u2019t even know me. Beside who will want to marry a old foggie like me. ha. ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gosh that certainly was a shock to here about Jack Winters. Some how I just can\u2019t get over it. Cora wrote and said he died but didn\u2019t say what was the matter with him. then I got your letter. If you ever see Mary give her my sympathy. I may drop her a line. But it is so hard to fine time to write and beside the weather is usually so bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I wonder if Rammy got a Deer this year? I guess Ben did not go this year any how he did not mention any thing about going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I am send you a 803 Xmas greeting if I don\u2019t send the rest one tell them not to feel hurt. I will try to send a few more. only we don\u2019t have many.<br>From your Bro Felix<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dec 2 1944 Germany Dear Ann; I put off writing to you thinking I would get my pen or some sort of package from you.
