October 18th V-mail home


Oct. 18th 1944
Somewhere in Belgium

Dear Mom,
Just a note to answer a few of your questions in your Oct. 3 letter which just came and to see how fast this will get there. There's a report out-the air mail isn't so good right now. Most of my news in last night's air mail to you (or rather addressed to Polly).

Don't know why dad sent my letter to you to send. I get letters direct from him every once in awhile. Mip's letters must not have come through yet but I'll get one off to her tomorrow- I'm sorry I've neglected her. I hope that Pacific deal falls through. I feel the same way you do. It's no place for a gal. As far as that goes it's no place for me let alone her and I hope I don't land there.

I know you'll enjoy your trip to Mexico as well as do a lot of good-

Thanks for your letter, Pat, I'll try to answer in full later.

My love to you all and I think of you always

Love, Lu

P. S. Remember A.P.O. 308

Things were rather hectic for me for quite awhile after we came over here and we still have some work of the drudgery sort to do for a while but we are now in a "Rest" area safe and sound from any enemy action and have prospects of some relaxation (can't count on it too long though.) Last night I got my first pass in France and we all went into a little town nearby (I'll tell you its name when I'm allowed). Of course the first thing the boys I was with headed for... ...was a wine shop, but that did them no good- "Bosche Take" was all they could get from the proprietress. That was the way with every th...
