[V-Mail]
France
21st General
Dear Pa,
Thanks for your V-Mail of the 14th of Jan. I can tell you now that I am in the 7th Army, but that can change quickly, because armored units are rushed around wherever they are needed. Also, you can’t very well judge what an individual is doing from the disposition of an army. A small unit might well be withdrawing while the army as a whole goes ahead, or vice versa. Or it might rest in reserve throughout. Initially, censorship had to be extremely strict, but by now Jerry knows all about us, so it isn’t as bad. When we first went in, he didn’t know there was any armor around—we wore no patches or other unit markings and moved at night. Consequently we had a big advantage at first.
Marjorie says you are working very hard. She marvels at the amount you do. Don’t do any more than you want to.
I’m as good as new again now, and inactivity is beginning to bore me. The weather here is like April already—snow and freezing lasted only about a month and a half.
Love to all,
Wallace
