Dolph's Letter #88

Dear Sweetheart -

Received your V-4+15 May letters - a real pleasure.

So I have gone cookies in the way + you BAKED them. Bravo. Don't tell me any more - feel one can really bake too! I can hardly await to receive + them honey.

You say that my of April letter said nothing about receiving mail. Honey - of those few letters I received there wasn't any from you so most of the joy was not mine. One letter from you is worth more than 200 from anyone else.

Honey, did you send me copies of the pictures we took together? Especially the one of you?

My platoon was on patrol today so I spent my time checking them. Also had to check up on the homes my men are sleeping in. It's been a beautiful day - warm - the sun has been out most of the day.

Last night I went to a show put de here - called Continental Revue - mostly Italian. Some of the acts were real good, especially a pair of acrobats. But a lot of it was distasteful - a little bit more than burlesque - could never be a Bway + certainly nothing I would take you to. It passed the time.

On the way back, the company commander + I went looking for violators of the curfew law, 2100. Scene example, we picked up a woman. Said she had been visiting her sister. Now I know that if anyone we knew were to break the law + faced jail why that person would be upset, at the very least. Not this woman. All she had to say was late, + a long story, but the entire attitude was - it is unfortunate I am caught. Same as their idea about the war - unfortunate that they lost. So she was put in jail - a Nazi jail - that's that.

I saw Jack Dempsey day before yesterday at the ceremony awarding a Presidential Citation to our 10th for their work at Bastogne. Only had a couple of minutes to talk.

That's about all for to-wifey sweet - except I'll be in my appointed spot in dreamland.

Your loving husband,
Dolph.
