the folks at home ( Keep out from under the birds and keep your trousers on. ) One letter speaks
of Italian POWs who have sworn allegiance to the U.S. and are about to fight for our side
( ...about all the English they know is [f-expletive deleted] the Nazis. ) And he teasingly tells his
wife when he s on his way home that I ll eat Limburger cheese and drink beer if she keeps on
calling him a cat. Also a long chatty letter from a worker at a base in Oklahoma to an officer
formerly scheduled there, written in January 1946 as the military was winding up most

interesting and delightful.
