Nov. 24th Wed. Eve
Dear Silvia,
I’m not going to write much — nothing important to talk about. We were on a bivouc last night and, of course, I had to be selected as a guard. Speaking of California warmth, I wore three pairs of socks and my feet still froze. I never saw the stars so bright or so numerous. I might add, that walking around on the side of a 30 degree moun- tain side (diagram) with no moon and no flash was rath - er difficult. We each had dug our foxhole that afternoon and last night I kept falling into them. Glad to hear Milt was home on fourlough. When you write tell me what he has to say. I hope you like this little thing I’ve sent along. It’s my arm patch (4th Army) Have to stop now — beau- tiful girl just asked me to dance. Humm. Love Herman
