  so far, it is rather exciting watching the fun too,

  the Allies seem to be giving Fritz something to do now. I

  wish it was all over, however, we can only wait & trust

  in God.  I had a letter from Bella yesterday, with one

  from you to her enclosed. I tell you it is fine to get so

  many letters, but it is not so easy to answer them all

  now, she has been ill for a wee while, but I trust

  she was able to manage the weekend with you. I

    ... you would all do your best to cheer her up so

  that she would enjoy her visit, she was looking

  forward to a long talk with you. I am pleased to

  know you have been keeping better and able to get about

  in your usual lively style. I hope the time is not far

  distant when I'll be back. God willing, because we

  don't know what dangers may be in front of us. I am

  sorry to hear about W. McCourt, it was very hard luck 

  of his going through what he did, to be killed by a sniper.

  I received a very kind and cheering letter from Blanche

  last night for which I thank her, it is as she says

  difficult for me to answer it. I will try to if I ever

  have time, a great difficulty we all find here is envelopes

  writing paper we have in plenty, but the writing pads

  we buy here the envelopes are all stuck together so
