The Biography of Herman Shooster

Netherlands Indies Nov. 27th, 1944

Dear Iz and Sil,

I hardly know what to write, there is little worth telling. I just want you to know that even though my letters are scarce, I think of you often. The mail clerk really came through today — five letters from Sil and Mother and Edith. The homefront seems to be holding its own. How is the draft situ- ation as far as you and Harry are concerned, Iz? I don’t wish you any ill health, but I hope you two can keep out of this. Have you decided on any business yet? Let me know all the details of what you’ve done toward that end so far and how the situation stands. As usual, I am in the best health. I haven’t weighed myself since leav- ing the states, but I imag- ine I’m still about 165 or 170. — maybe a little more. A guy can’t gain weight eating spam and bully beef. All for now,

Love,

Herm
