Dear Karl - 
Was mighty glad to hear from you last week and get all the dope.  Things over here are about as usual.  I am still running the Sales Commissary, altho I expect to turn it over to Lt. Cornell next week while I go down through Switzerland to Italy and back to Paris, fly across to London, look over the "tight little island" for a short time and then spend a day or so in Antwerp & Brussels.  Quite a schedule for three weeks, isn't it?  This trip is not yet a certainty but I have my company commander's O.K. on it and think my request for leave will go through all right.  If it doesn't I'll be going in January any way, I think.  The trip is the thing I've been looking forward to ever since I came over here and I expect to have a wonderful time.
If my writing doesn't look quite natural it's because my thumb is all done up in a bandage.  Got it torn up a little out deer hunting the other day.  It's not a wound I'd think twice about back

Saving...
