Received your letter of Aug
17 last Thursday and the letter
of Aug. 21 today. I can say
the mail is comeing through
real good. My shoes arrived
here on Wednesday, before
I received the letter telling
me your had bought some.
They fit ok and are just
what I wanted. Thanks a lot.
Say, on my bank account
just what do I have in it
now? I know you have kept
my insurance paid up with
it and I was wondering what
the balance should be. I figure
I should have over $900. by now.
I guess by your two letters
to me you have really been
busy traveling around. I sure
would like to be able to go
up to Wampler's lake. I could
stand a good rest.
Had a letter from Pearl Meyers
today. She said Kathyrn (her
niece) was in Germany some
where. Maybe I will get to see
her yet.
As I told you before, I was
in London on VJ day. I bet the
news was just as welcome
back there in the states also.
Today has been a grand day
here. We don't have to work on
Sundays anymore. I am on
Charge of Quarters tonight so will
have plenty of time to catch up
on my letter writing.
There has been so many
rumors going around about what
is going to happen to us. I guess
no one knows but I think
we will be occupation for
awhile anyway. As for my
Christmas gifts I don't know
what to say. I doubt very much
if I will be home by Christmas.
I would like to have a package
again. Can you send me some
salted peanuts and the mixed
nuts? Anything esle you think
I would like to have.
Over here the plums are
about gone now. A few apples
and pears are ripe and we
have plenty of them around here.
I had some grapes to eat in
Brussells the other day.
They really tasted good. We
get quite a few fresh tomatoes
in the mess hall now.
Well I guess this will be the
end of my visit tonight. I hope
our mail does speed up a lot
faster now. Don't forget the
package.
Love Ralph.
The next letter will be posted on September 3rd.
