England, July 14, 1943<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear Ben + All;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just got through playing a little ball so now I will spend a\nlittle time time writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How is every thing at home? You must have your wheat cut by\nnow. How was it this year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I got a letter from Ann, wrote June 26 \u201cI believe!\u201d she said\nit was terrible hot. Here I use three blankets to cover up with at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every thing is rationed here each one of us have a card we\ncan get only so much a week, three candy bars, two, razor blades, one pack of\ngum and seven cola’s and cigarettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tried to buy some candy in town, they won’t sell me any\nbecause I did not have a card. Most of the farmers are making hay all of it is\nput in stacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday I got nine letters yesterday and to day I didn’t get\nany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can take a little news paper 40\u00a2 per month, So four or five of the fellows starting taking it they paid month next month someone else will pay. The name is Stars and Stripes, its a good little paper, at least I can look at the Ball scores they are two day late but that isn’t bad. I haven’t heard how the all star game come out will will fine out tomorrow when the paper comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far I haven’t been gettng any of my papers, I’ll have to\nsee what I have to do to get them. I would at least like to get the Petersburg\npaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you get my last letter? The one I wrote I think the 4th<\/sup>. I had a pretty bad cold, its better now, I am glad of that we don’t have to do our own washing. I don’t know what I would hate worse than washing hankercheifs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am going to take a shower and go to bed. I am tired to\nnight. So until next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your Brother Felix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" England, July 14, 1943 Dear Ben + All; Just got through playing a little ball so now I will spend a little time time writing.
