How is everyone and . everything back there? Well and• happy, I hope.“I recently received a very nice letter from Jackie, and I must admit that I was surprised. It sort of shock-, id me to realize how long it has ) been since I have seen any of the relatives in Bedford. Must be seven or eight years, j “However, I hope to remedy that f ituation all right. The other day 1 received orders relieving me from duty in this area, and to repoit to I Hamilton Field, Cal., for re-assign-• ment. Needless to say this made me rather happy, as the past eight months have been somewhat of a strain—both physically and mentally. Don’t get the idea that 1 am returning with broken health or nerves, as I am in really good shape. It is just, that I knew my luck was due to turn, end that I would soon be among the missing. There was some technicality , wrong in the orders, and they were j l evoked, but I hope that a revised order will be issued soon.“Transportation back to the states will be a big problem, and it may be a month or more before 1 get buck. On the other, if I am fortunate enough to secure air transportation back, it will he just a few days. Then on returning. I will of course apply foi a leave of about thirty days. If all of this i3 approved and goes through on schedule, I may be home before this letter reaches you. I hope the situation will pan out that way.“I suppose that you have learned from Forney that 1 was slightly wounded, and received a couple of more medals. Since writing to him, I of major. I was vaguely expecting have also been promoted to the rank this promotion, but at some later date. It will mean quite a bit of added responsibility, but I feel confi lent of being able to carry the weight.“Hope to see all of you very soon.“Warren.PRPfc. promol He rec 605 C. ery, C the so late MSOLDI Pvt. 5264.
