Germany March 29
Mom Dearest,
I was going to write again sooner than this but this afternoon was the first time I've had a chance to wash and shower in three days, so you can see I haven't had much time.
Your Feb 13 typed V mail came last night. Leona's letters with the new address on have been coming pretty good. Tonight I got one dated March 20. Got one from Polly-Feb 20-also.
Don't worry about my health mom. I'm doing great. I've had two colds this past winter and each one of them hung on about two weeks, but other than that things have been OK. I have a canvas cot now so I no
longer sleep on drafty floors and so far this spring I haven't had to sleep out in the wet.
Speaking of the spring, it's been beautiful over here a good share of the time. Right now we're having a siege of rain and wind, but it isn't too cold. We've had enough warm, sunny afternoons in the past few weeks to give any one spring fever.
I've had one letter from Spence since he came over. As you say, he's been getting enough first aid work to satisfy his medical urge. Yours is the first news I've had of Terry & Don for a long, long time. What did Don get his
commission in? That apartment house fire must have been an ordeal. You know I'm really thankful that "home town U. S. A. don't go through the terror, tragedy and heartbreak that are every day occurrences around here. My sympathies really don't go to these German _ _ _ _ . They asked for it, dished it out and now they're getting the results of a total war with no holds barred. I certainly hope the folks at home never have to face worse tragedies than what fires, Hoods (arsonists?) and winds mother nature sees fit to mete out.
Tell Polly I'll write soon. My love to all-Lu
P. S. Here's some worthless German mark notes. (100 Marks & 20 Marks)
I think that is "floods", not hoods.
