bear Mr. Houser:
Just a few lines to let you
know I am receiving the Eagle
here in France. Received my first
copy uboui tnree weeks ago and
tv.-o more copies today. Really
like to have die news from home
in a place like this.
France is not so had, really a
beautiful country, wheie war has
by passed. The only thing wrong
with me, I don’t know enough
French. Things are not so bad
now, we are getting pretty good
food. We even have some white
bread, first I had seen in a long
time. Have seen quite a lot since
I left the U. S. in 1943.
Give my regards to all and hope
to be home soon.

Hello Fred:
Just a few lines to let you
know that I have been receiving
the Eagle regular and that 1
have enjoyed it even if it is a
week or two old. I notice that my
old friend (Fat) Clyde Carpen
ter is still on the job washing
Goldiners Department Store win
dows. Tell him I said, “to keep
up the good work for the wai
will be over soon.’’ Well Fred
it looks like from where I am
at, the war with Germany will be
over in a very short time and a
lot of us boys will be back in
town before long. I noticed in
the copy of the Eagle the ad
dress of Red Eaker, I have been
trying to locate him but so far
I haven’t had any luck but I am
•*till hoping to run into him over
nere real soon.
I also noticed that you had
printed a letter that you had
received from my kid brother,
Earl, I had a letter from him this
week he is OK and getting along
fine ana he says that they are
giving the Japs hell where he it
and that it will not take long
to clean them out after we gel
Hitler cleaned up and I don’l
think that will take much longer
for we are really giving them
hell and there is more where this
is coming from if we need it that
is what makes a man put up a
good fight is to know that the
people back home are backing him
up with good food and plenty of
ammunition and supplies so tel!
the folks to keep up the good
work and that it will not be long
till their brothers, fathers, hus
bands and sweethearts will b«
coming home.
Well Fred this is just about
all for this time, so may I saj
again I enjoy the Eagle verj
much. Keep it coming.
From your old friend,

still operated at the time of his
death.
Funeral arrangements are in
complete due to two sons being
in the armed forces of the U. S.
He was a member of St. John’s
Lutheran church and funeral ser
vices will probably be held there.

before marriage was Miss Bessie
