Dearest Betty
Well we have rain & more rain and frogs galore. Seems to rain them.
Then I reckon we will move again or tomorrow. The Laundry men are drawing back again. Operation “Yo Yo” we call it up and back. They let 17 prisoners aloose up ahead of us last night. Don’t see their reason but quite often they do being funny to figure them out.Long time no write. Been moving quite a bit haven’t had any mail from you till last night. Received one letter 15th---several on the way someplace. Also had a long letter from Mother, two pages on both sides and she had written another page but forgot to enclose it.
Well had good news today, the gods to be have authority to promote all Sgts to the rank of S/Sgt. Who have a year in grade. That will bring us up to strength in S/Sgts so may get home by August. Anyway, sure hope so. Just came from the Sgt. Maj office, they have 30 sgts eligible for S/Sgt. To be made June 1st or abouts.
Peel drops by three or four times a day just sits around then leaves. I think he takes a dim view of this war.
Sure felt close to you last night, Sugar for some reason, not that I don’t always feel close but last night I lay awake listening to the radio till after one.
boy, what a tirade that was. Reckon I better stop this sort of stuff till I have you to really tell it to you.
Your Bill
