Dear Staff: ' - Just a note to let you Icnow that I haven't forgotten you, and the many things that you have done for me and the rest of the boys overseas,' I have had'a change in address since I have written you, and I am sure this will be the last time it will change, as I am here until it is over. The war in Germany, it seems, will be over one of these first days. You bojrs over on that side have sure done a swell job. So hurry home for the T»rell earned leave, and hurry over and help us put the finishing'touches on the Nips and we will put o n a celebration that shall never be forgotten.
