July 5, 1944 — France
Dear Ann
How are you making out? I haven't had a letter from you for quite a while but I received the package that you sent me. It had the socks, candy, and things in it. Thanks a lot.
Everything is about the same here. I am still in France waiting for this war to end. Yesterday was the fourth but it was a little different than the ones I remember at home. I saw some fireworks but it wasn't the firecrackers, it was our artillery giving the Germans hell.
For the past few days it has been raining pretty steadily but today the sun peeked out and it looks like a pretty good day. Give Charles and his family very regards and write as soon as you can.
your brother George
