One more letter from Helen and the boys say that Helen must be in love with me, to write so many letters. There's only one think I would like to do, thats let her know that I am alright - getting her mail. But I have not wrote in the last four months, as we all know that the mail does not leave Germany. I have not wrote to my own mother, so I hope they think iI am OK.
The news is much better today, and we should be out of here by Sunday if all goes well. The Jerrys are talking about taking us out of this camp, but up to now they dont know where to take us to. The boys are only 25 miles from here in the West, and Jerry has lots of guns around here.
May be tonight we will have our own gun's, that will make us all so happy. Everyone is talking about home, and what they are going to do. at nights I just go to sleep and dream of what its going to be like. Gee, I hope to see you all soon, and never leave Eng again, and never will I live like I did in a Stalag (Just like ?a ?Dog)
Not much to eat, no ?, no nice beds and lots of lice to kick you out of bed.
