Letters from George

Pvt. Paul N. Simpson U.S. Army 1126 Technical School Squadron (Sp.) Flight No. 498th A.A.F.T.T.C. Basic Training Center No. 9th Miami Beach, Florida

Dear Ann:

I was very pleased to receive your letter. There's nothing else to look forward to in the Army every day than mail, except of course seeing Lillian, and someday getting home. Lillian wrote me in her letter today that the weather is like spring outside up home. I'm glad to hear that, guess everybody up at home is glad that it has gotten warmer.

Glad to hear that George expects to stay in this country for 8 more months. I guess the war may be over by that time. At least we can hope it is. Has George heard anything about his furlough? I got a letter from George a few days ago. He seems to be alright, and we are going to correspond with each other regular. I sent him a letter this week.

I know Ann, that mostly everything Charles says is idle chatter, but it's good to hear any kind of chatter when you're away from home. Everybody seems to be treating Lillian swell, as I knew everybody would. It makes me feel good to know that you keep up her spirit up. Thanks very much, Ann, for the dollar, but you don't need to send much money in the Army. And what I get a month is enough for me to get along on. Although I appreciate your kindness, Ann. I don't expect to be here very much longer. They're shipping more fellows out every day. Hope Ann, pray that I get shipped closer to home.

Well so long Ann Bucky
