To: Mrs. Esther Bloomberg 1627 N. Monroe St. Baltimore, 17, Maryland A.P.O. 15775 c/o P.M. - N.Y. N.Y. From: Pvt. Leon Bloomberg 33909499 Co. D-1st Platoon Hello Sweetheart: First chance I've had to write you since I've been over. I'm in the best of health and spirits and hope that you, Jackie and the folks are the same. There's been practically solid traveling since I've left the states. Already I've seen quite a bit of Scotland, England and France. I've been on several ships and several trains. The last train trip being of long duration on the famous French 40&8 box cars. Forty men on eight horses. I'll write you more of the sights in a later letter. Am not as yet permanently settled. Miss you terribly much. The world of love to you and Jackie Leon.
