Dear Staff; Just a short letter in between breaks of our moving to let you imovj ,1,4*ece^ved the new edition of the Hoover Rail, and once again I want to take thi^ time and thank you all for sending ..it* on to me. It sure was sv/ell reading and onjoyed‘it iinmensely, I vdll always continue to' send me a copy, each and every time you publish it. I was sure surprised though to see ray letter printed that I had written to,you, .and again I want to thank you for doing it. As X said in my last letter to you. I’m not much on this kind of stuff and never wrote for any kind of magazine before, so I do hope you wiJJ.‘ forgive me if niy letter was not up to par imd not what you, expected, as I really didn't expect it to ever be p ririted, and was sxirprised when I saw it. I only wrote it because I wanted to thank you' all whole heartedly for thinking of me and to show my appreciation of you sending your swell m^igazine to me. Since I last wote to you, we boys have sure been, on the go and we are moving so much we feel like a bunch of gypsies, but all'’‘figgor” that each time we move, it’s a step nearer home, and, boy, that’s what we all want most of all. We crossed the great Rhine, and to me it was no more than the good old East, River we have back in New York. We passed"thru such cities as Mannheim,' Heidleberg, Heil- bronn and up to our present location, vjhich should give you a rough idea,if you look on the map,'where abouts we now are and whore abouts we' are heading for? Our Division, the 100th, ^ure did a grand job on;Heilbronn and, boy, thqse Johnny Doughboys sure did a wonderful job and it w as a hard and tough battle, but when they got thru with it, then it was just like putting a baby to sleep. The news sure looks good and I’m hoping that by the’ time you receive this that this mess in Europe^ will all be over. Let’s hope and pray that it will be and'then on to finish those sla’nji-eyed dogs off and end this thing once and for all. Well, I’ll say good night now and again a million thanks for sending me a copy of the book. Also thanks to Anne and Lib, the two old maids, and toll them I send my love to them both. Good luck and keep smiling. PVom your New York Soldier Correspondent Pfc."Eddie” Schreiber Somewhere in Germany k. ■M- ‘ ^ it- Dear Hoover Rail Staff: Just have finishpd reading the April issue of the Hoover Rail and enjoyed it more than I ca n tell.

This seems to be the first chan- I have had to let you know how riiuch t enjoy it and apprc-^N ’' ciate your sending it to me, although I have been gettini^ it for three months. I couldn’t tell you which column is ray favorite because I enjoy them all so'much, but I on-' joy so much reading about the servicc boys and the home folks ('cause I feel like you are my hone folks,too), I am stationed now in Norfolk, Va. Have been stationed in Bainbridge, Md., where I have seen Cannie Wallace, Doc Cline and Bonell Queen.'
