Hi Honey (Shirley),

You should have been here for a bite of our supper. We are in a small town that is vacant due to the shelling. There are plenty of eats here for us. Chicken, rabbits, etc. We are cooking up some swell meals with all the side dishes. In fact, there are several kinds of wine that the boys are fast making disappear.

I have a swell German motorcycle that we captured from them. There is a long story about getting it but I don't think I should write about it at present.

Well it looks as if we will have this war over soon (I hope).

See you all soon

Charlie
