May 7th 1944
I'm having to send yours and Muriel's pictures home to Leona. I hated like all get out to pack them this morning but five pounds of personal belongings won't allow for more than my toilet articles and one or two pair of garments (if they allow them).
I'll bet Mip has been right in her glory there at home. I do hope you got to see her for awhile and get acquainted again. This business of scattered families isn't so hot.
I'm so sorry to hear about Aunt Louise's death and I can imagine how grandma feels about it. I wish I could be with grandma for awhile. I know I could cheer her up, it's so hard for her to see the beauty in life when most of her grand children have been taken so far from her that they can't throw their arms around her and tell her how much we love her.
The past week hasn't yielded any startling news for me to tell. I'm getting down into the routine of surveying and of course there are routine duties to be performed but there's not much to that.
I fired my new carbine Friday and it throws the lead right where I want it to, so I know I can depend on it if some German patrol tries to interrupt our survey party.
Thanks for taking care of the flower situation mom. I do appreciate it.
Take care of yourself mom, I want my mom the same as always when I come home.
Loads of hugs & Kisses
Lu
