The Biography of Herman Shooster

June 13th, 1944 New Guinea

Dear Sil,

Received your letter and the enclosed “poetry,” The letter was very nice. So Iz promised to write me, eh? Must be quite a task when he has to make promis- es to write. As yet, I have not received any letter from him. Don’t tell me. I know. — “His thoughts are with me.” — which isn’t a hell of a lot of good, for I am not telepathi- cally inclined. By the way, what makes you think that poem originat- ed in an army camp. Did you ever hear of the Navy? (Hum) Sil, I’m sorry I’ve not writ- ten you more often, but you see, I didn’t know whether or not you still had the apartment. Glad to hear that Milt made it. That’s an impossibil- ity with me. All for now. I’ll write soon again. Love Herm
