It started raining yesterday afternoon and it has rained all day today. Mud is knee deep and everyone seems to have a cold. Boy but this kind of living is miserable. I mailed my package home today and also wrote my mother and dad. It’s a shame I can’t send them more. But there is not a thing you can buy. The Germans have a taken everything including food. We have a bad time even getting “spuds” anymore. About 12 planes came over and bombed and strafed today. One bullet went through a mine detector box. It is still raining and I think I will write a few more letters and then go to bed. We have fixed a light in the truck and it gives us a chance to catch up on our letters. It gets dark at 5:15 or 5:30 PM. Good night.
Your Son, ‘Chick’
