Dear Willard and Grace;

By the time you receive this letter you probably will have received a letter which will answer most of the questions in your V-Mail of the 14th.

There seems to be a “nigger in the woodpile” as far as Don is concerned, as we have a lot of fellows like him here.

I got a letter from Bertha and Miles today. I guess mail is pretty slow both ways across the water. However, I think it’s improving slowly.

News reports are sure looking good these days. At 10PM a transcribed home news broadcast is heard here right after a regular newscast. Sometimes we listen to German propaganda broadcasts. They certainly are a bunch of stupes to think we believe their hooey. But they play good music.
