October 7, 1944 My Dearest One Italy Sweetheart it looks like it will just be a V-mail today. We have had three days & nights of rain and things are in too much of a mess for me to settle down to write. The sun has come out this morning so maby we will have a day or two of pretty weather. I got your letter of the 23rd yesterday. I should be getting some Air mail in a day or two. Sweet I am feeling fine despite the rain and mud. I hope you wont worry to much about me. As far as the shellers are concerned, Jerry is pretty much on the run now. There sure are some pretty valleys up where we are now. The Air force is sure having a field day to-day since the sun has come out. Give all the folks my love All my love Sweet Le
