Netherlands East Indies December 14th, 1943
Dear Iz and Sil,
I’m glad you are taking so much time deciding what busi- ness you’re going to take a shot at. It will turn our better that way, I’m sure. If you could open a beer garden over here, you’d make millions. I was considering the idea myself, but I don’t think headquarters would approve. This is Thursday night, and what a swell night to be dancing. There is probably a ‘Moose’ dance in Salinas tonight, and I guess Jerry will be there. What a gal she was. She’s what you might call “The girl I’d like most to be out with if she were drunk.” How’s everything in Ches- ter these days? You still haven’t written me about your draft clas- sification. Don’t think I’m being subversive or anything, but if your number comes up, I hope you break a leg. Service ribbons may look nice, but, take it from me, the people at home will never know what they represent. V-day plus about eight months will certainly be wonderful. That’s about it for now. I’ll write again soon, Herm
