Letters To Home - February 16, 1952

Schweinfurt, Germany
February 16, 1952

It's still very cold, about the worst of the winter so far. It was 16 above yesterday morning, the lowest it's been this winter. Not much snow left, though. We leave tomorrow for a 3-day maneuver around Wurzburg.

We white-washed all the guns and jeeps today so that they would blend in with the snow. They look very strange.

I got a package from Irene the other day. Very nice of her. Home-made cookies, some candy, nuts, puffed wheat candy, stationery and stamps.

Not much more to say right now. The papers have finally got back on schedule. The late ones were just a few strays, I guess. It really is interesting to check things out back home. Some things are changing, aren't they?

We're getting up early tomorrow, so better get some rest. Write soon, please.
