Rose "Rosebud" Pieper, Letter, 1945

July 25, 1945 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Mau and Gloria, Hello there! How is everybody at your house. I hope fine. It's been two weeks today that we came up here and it really is nice. The scenery is just beautiful and the food is wonderful. But it sure is hot up here at times. Yesterday I think it must have been at least 120 out on the drill field. The drill sergeant must have felt sorry for us though 'cause he found some shade for us and told us to take it easy. Maybe you're wondering what we go to classes in and drill in - Overalls, 2 piece with wool socks and field shoes. They really are comfortable too. O yes, we have little wool capes something like beanies to wear on the back of our heads
