England
Hi Sis,
Your letter came last night but I didn’t find it until this morning. I couldn’t have answered it until now anyhow as I worked last night and have this four noon off.
I got a letter from Bernice a couple of days ago telling me about your trip to Elmira. I got a letter from Eileen today too.
Where is Aaron now? I don’t believe I ever got his address. If I did, I forgotten it. I could probably find out from Joe, but no telling when I’ll see him again. I’m waiting for him to let me know where the old outfit has settled so we can go see some of the boys together.
I’ve loaned my pen to fellows to write letters with, and it doesn’t work right, for me now. I reckon that I’ll practice as of now.
no, I’m not acquainted with any English people, and from the contacts I’ve had with them so far, I don’t want to. They are pretty dull and can’t be dependent upon at all.
The girls, on the average, are definitely not good looking. They are mostly blondes and redheads and I’ve never did like blondes. Most of them around here are , pretty rugged built and could probably knock hell out of a fellow if they wanted to.
They say they go out with “the government asked them to treat our fellows good but I think it’s something besides patriotism. All of them would like to go to the states and if they could hook on American soldiers, it would give them the chance. They don’t care much how they do it either. They could put a tent over the island and call the whole place, a whore house.
The British are trying to make the people believe that they’re the only ones who are doing anything in this war.
A lot of them still believe that the flying Fortress is British and I’ve seen pictures of “tanks crossing up pontoon bridge “that look just like the Sherman tanks, even to the US white star on the turret
Another picture showing “British soldiers rushing Italian positions on a hill in Algeria “might have been a British soldier, but I can’t figure out how the hell they got Yankee helmets and M1 rifles.
I’ve read in the papers that the U. S. Investigated reports that the English were tearing the American labels off the, lend lease stuff that was sent over, putting labels on and shipping the stuff to Russia and India up as English goods and found that if it was just what was happening. Things like that get me steamed up.
Well, it’s nearly dinner time and I have some things to do before I have to go to work so…. so long for now,
Wayne.
