Dear Staff:
lihave been on the-move since my last
letter, France, Belgium, luxenibourg and nov;
getting along pretty good in Germany,
There is nothing that I like better than to
,y V f' „ keep rolling along until v;e meet the Russians,
qjui
It has been some time since I received
my Hoover Rail and boy I sure do miss it.
Maybe it will be here soon, I sure hope so.
After being on the front for awhile, I don't think any thing could cheer a fellow up
more than the Hoover Rail, ’
I hear that lots of the boys from home are on the front, but as yet I haven't had
the luck to run into any of them, I suppose we are in different armies, I am in the
Third Amy \inder General Patton, and will be on the lookout for any of the home town
boys,
I am sending a swastika that was cut out of a flag, which I thought you would
like to have.
It is time to get busy, so I will say so long for now,

Dear Staff: •
.While I have a little tijne to myseif, thought I would write you a few lines,
Surc was glad to get the Hoover Rail when I did, for I' didn't have anything to read,
I see you have a nice looking basketball team at home. It would be nice to'see
then, play a game, for all the girls I see are GeniAn, and we can’t spealc to them.
It looks like I an lucky — During the Gernnan offensive in Belgium, I was captured by
the Jerries, but thanks to the doughboys I didn’t stay a prisoner very long,
'I had a nice three day pass back to Brussels, Belgium, and did I have a good
time,'three ni^^ts with a bed and white sheets, and believe mo there v;ere plenty of
girls, .1- can’t speak very good French, but-1 had seme v6ry good sign language,
Vifcll, thanks again for the Hoover Rail, and so long,

Dear Staff:
I guess it is about time I was widting to thank you all for the grand little
paper, I won't try to make any excuse for not v;riting sooner,
I have just finished reading the February issue of the Hoover Rail and I enjoyed
it more than ever, I have read a lot of letters the boys writo but I haven't seen
any one from Lawndale since I have been over here in the Hawaiian Islands, tho’ I'll
prob.ably see some frcm Lawndale soon, I cure do like the letters .the boys write to
you to hc.ve published.
After rambling'around here on the Islands, I haven’t found a single place to
equal ole’ Lawndale, Tell the girls that write ’’Old Maids Row" they don’t have to
worry about the soldiers in the South Pacific for we are lucky if we get close enouf^
to a girl to speak to her.
Will close for now, and thanks again for'the paper,
