Berlin, Germany

Adolph Jerome Bennett stationery

Dear Sweetheart —

Here I am in the "Hauptstadt" (main city – capitol) of Germany

The flight took one hour + 40 minutes. Not bad. I arrived here at 6:15 P.M. + Bob + Robbie met me at the billeting office, signed me in, + then took me over to their house for dinner (they eat breakfast + supper there (at home)) + expected to have me stay there, but

the room which was vacant was occupied when me got there – the major had returned from his leave. So I had dinner with them, + then went to a Hotel – Gossler – for a room.

The trip was nothing to talk about – a C47 but not comfortable as they had bucket seats – you know, the kind you used when I saw for off but for that short time it wasn't too bad.

From the airfield a bus took us to the Amer. Sector, passing thru a portion of the Russian + French Sector. Yes Berlin is rather beat up, but

I haven't been able to look around much. Reputedly though, the Amer. sector is the best as regards the extent of damage.

Today I spent running down the civilianization situation, + found our job allocation in the "dead file." How do you like that? The Army. It was a heck of a lot of work tracking it down. To-morrow I'll have a clearer picture of how things stand.

The fellows here have fixed up a little an musical appreciation with records, for this

evening. They are swell fellows.

I hope everyone is well + everything is coming along all right dear.

I miss you so very much + love you more than words can say.

Your devoted husband,
Dolph
