England.
Hello Folks,
Just a few lines to let you know I am in England and am ok, and its really swell to be here. I won't mind listening to, you can't miss it etc. The milds and bottles stouts are ok although I've only did four pints of beer since being back.
Yes I saw Layshock and Benish at the marshaling area. We played quite a lot of softball there. Layshock was wounded and I think Benish is alright. I'm quite sure of it. John will be ok tho. About all we could do there was go to a show in the evening in the mess hall.
Yes Alma I think you'd better get Frank on the ball and make him help you paint the inside. ? about is fair play.
I'm having trouble getting my clothes ready to go on furlough the 26th. Think I might go to Manchester. Although I'm not certain. Want to go and see some that were injured.
Damn I slept through two fried eggs this morning. I'm on guard and didn't get to sleep until late and slept through breakfast. That broke my heart. Had ham with them too.
Its about dinner time so will close for this time. Don't want to miss it.
Love,
Chuck
