Sept 27, 1944
Dear [?]
I got [?] [?] from the Governor Clinton the other d[ay]. I see that you have been doing a little sporting again. Your letter was mailed the twenty s[ix]th of August so it took just about a month to get here.
Everything is about the same at this end of the line. I am still in Belgium. It has be[en] [rain]ing here all week. Today is reall[y] the nicest? clear day we have had. That [?] [?] didn't answer your lett[er] [?] [w]ould try to write but con[?] [?] dry spot. Everything is muddy.
I didn't get your pen yet but I will be glad when I do. Everytime I want to write I try to find someone that has a pen and isn't writing them?. Half of the time I can't find on[e] [?] pencil.
[?] what I wanted you to send [?] Marge. you can send me some writing? [?]et or cigarettes if you can get them. I hear so much about different things I've? [men]tioned that I don't know what? [?]
[?] before that I saw Paris. I[t] [look]ed good but I didn't have a chance to stay around long enough to really see the place. Maybe before I get back home I'll be able to see it better.
Just as you said, there isn't a thing to write about so I will have to close. Best of luck to you and Charles.
your brother George
