The Biography of Herman Shooster

November 19th, 1945 Dumaguete, Negros

Dear Iz and Sil,

I’m sorry such a long time has elapsed since my last letter. But, sweat- ing it out this was these days, I seldom have the patience to write. With- in two weeks, possibly by the time you receive this letter, I hope to be on a ship heading for the sates. Yes, believe it or not, it’s that close. You must understand that plans are constantly changing, but as of today, everything indicates that we will disembark in San Francis- co. I will be discharged in Indiantown Gap. We have already turned in our sizes for clothing, which we expect to receive in a few days. The readiness date is still the 30th, and we may debark any time after that date, depending on when some transportation is available. That’s the whole story as it stands today. How’s my little neph- ew these days.
