December 6, 1943 — England or en route overseas (A.P.O. 9029)
Dear Ann
How is everything going, Babe? I'm doing fine. You know I always was a sport, and now I am getting a chance to do a little travelling at the expense of the government.
Don't give me hell for not writing often now. I will write as much as I can but God knows how long it will take the letters to get to you after I write them.
There is very little that I can say that is not military information. You know I'm a little thick any way. You will get a V mail from me that is just a change of address. It doesn't mean anything except that it will be my permanent A.P.O. number. The one on the envelope now is only temporary.
Well I'll say so long for now. Give Charles and his family my regards. Tell Charles to enclose a couple of jokes when you write to me. He should know some.
Take it Easy Brother George
