Dear Mother and Dad,
Received two letters just a little while ago. Sorry to hear that your scribe has been ill. I guess by this time Harry is working at Ford’s or the Ship- yard so I guess I won’t have to worry about getting my equipment. Was very glad to hear that Ikey and Moishe are getting furloughs. Wish I could be there for the festivi- ties. Mother, all of your letters seem sad and I hate to think of you worrying for nothing. There really is no need for worry when I’m just as safe as you are in Chester. We get plenty to eat, plenty of sleep and all in all it seems like a swell vacation. We go swim- ming and fishing in the after- noons and sit around reading or playing chess or throwing the bull at night, just like little campfire girls. You have no idea how beautiful the South Seas can be, the only thing I’m worried about is whether or not we’ll have ice cream Sunday.
1944, Apr 20 - Dear Harry and Ida
Love
Herm
