throughout the world. Should really be in top physical shape when I leave here, as the most reliable method of transportation is a bicycle, it's ok even on the level, and going down hill, but I don't particularly appreciate it when I'm at the bottom of a hill looking up. Your restaurant troubles, and existing conditions here, are somewhat mutual; except that here they only need two persons to operate such an establishment, one to serve coffee, or tea, and the other to sell sandwiches. Rest assured, I'm always in the G.I. chowline, and very rarely am in the back of it. Truthfully, the E.T.O. has its advantages, here exists, believe it or not, a place where money has little value to the average soldier. It doesn't do you much good as there is little or nothing that can be obtained regardless of the cost. Well, I'm afraid that about concludes my insignificant contribution to your vast hordes of correspondence obtained from various sectars of the world. Shall expectantly await your answer. Gratefully Yours J Guthrie Pvt. John R. Guthrie
