Nov 5, 1945 – Don’t know if we’ll go to England or ship out from Le Havre or Marseille. This is the worst letter I’ve written.
We have yet to find out the name of the ship he was on for his return to the United States of America.
Nov 8, 1945 – Another quickie. Swell nite to stay by the stove with a magazine. It’s raining cats & dogs outside.
Nov 11, 1945 – Practically out of coal again. Only 125 miles from Paris but don’t think I’ll get there again. Maybe to Reims….
Nov 15, 1945 — Serious coal shortage. I hope to hell we move out of this “refrigerator” soon. Still no definite date.
Nov 19, 1945 — One of the fellows talked to a guy that knew a fellow who said the General’s latrine orderly said…rumors.
