Nothing has changed. Kept myself pretty busy working on my books. Joe Watters and I went for water in the evening. Read a little and went to bed.

Nothing new today, just about the same as yesterday. Worked on my books all day and then they changed some of the sets and I will have to make them all over. Went to a show tonight. “Four Girls and a Jeep” Not bad.

Worked hard until noon. Then went swimming. Had a nice time. We got beer tonight. Wrote letters and went to bed early.
Letter Home – June 27, 1944
Dear Mother & Dad
Well here I am again, a little late but there is little to write about here. I would like to go see Paul, but so far I haven’t had time. Man I have never been so busy before since we left Camp Picket VA. for overseas. Gee’s letter also said that Herman Osterber was in the 7th infantry. I’ll go see him to if I can. He saw some of the Fellows from my outfit and Asked about me but I had all ready passed by ahead of them as I didn’t get to see him. Did I tell you that I saw John Murry. It was just plain luck. Well I have a box of gifts on the way home and I hope they get there as they are worth a fortune. Goodbye and will write more later.
Your Son,
“Chick”

Move, move, move, that’s all we do. I’ll be glad when we make this invasion and get this war over with. Set up the supply and then went to take a bath. They had a show for us tonight.

About the same as yesterday. Went to see Vince in the hospital. He is going home. God he is in bad shape. Back broke & jaw broke. Glad he is going home and I would like to be going too, but not that way. We are moving tomorrow.

Worked all day on reports and other jobs. Nothing to do in the evenings and I don’t feel like writing letters.
