several Italian prisoners of war. They just wander around in their brownish red suits and no one pays any attention to them. How humiliating when they thought they were so dangerous!
I'll be so glad to get the sweaters, especially the red one, as I imagine it will be swell when the days are grey.
My, but my finances are nice, aren't they?
We usually have chicken on Sunday. Yes, I think the broadcast is always (???), I don't know for how long. 
I like a Bell for Adano, didn't you? 
The roses here are still swell. 
I had a letter from Dora (Lt. Dora Dykins) yesterday and she's south of me.  We hope to meet.  She's been over only a month and is working very hard.  Funny if the three of us would get together wouldn't it be?  (Dora, Maureen Croly, the English girl, & I roomed at the same place in Paris in 1931.)
You ask about our stay, of course we are apt to go anywhere any time.  Probably not at once, but time goes fast and it is well to get things done.
Betty Schram wrote me one letter some time ago, and I haven't answered it yet.  I have quite a few of the less urgent
