Received you letter today & was swell to hear from you. Had a few spare minutes, so I thought I'd better answer your letter. Spare minutes like this are few and far between. Was downtown for a little while late this afternoon. Got a haircut and a bite to eat. Came back to Camp and changed a couple of tires on my car.
Just had a couple scrapped & they did a pretty nice job. Also getting ready for my furlough! All I need now is the gas!! Where on earth I'll get that, I don't know. If all goes well I should be home six weeks from tonight! It's still quite a way off, but I'm getting anxious & am looking forward to it.

Wrote Bill a letter last night. He's still in England. Do you ever write or hear from him? In case you get time and want to drop him a few lines, here's his address:
Cpl Wm. R. Lehman 35633004 Hq. Tn 38th Cav. Ren. Sq. APO 230 c/o Postmaster New York, N.Y.
In case you had his old address you'll notice he has a new APO no. I've been busier than a bee for the past couple of weeks. The 1st sgt has been on a furlough & I've been holding down his job & mine too. It really quite me hopping, but it makes the time go faster, & that I like. I've been in a little over =a year now, & the time has gone pretty fast.
Take a short break with our 1 minute survey, simple questions that are an enjoyable distraction.

Just hope the rest of my time goes as fast. Sounds like I was serving time in the jug doesn't it? Boy this is a beautiful evening. Last night it turned cold as the devil, but warmed up swell today. Seems just like god old spring at that! Did you get all your painting finished? Bet you have everything looking real snazzy now! How're you making out with all your boy friends, Marge? And I'll bet you have a string of them too! How do you keep them straight? Use a fitting system Ha! Ha! Something just came up so I have to run. Tell your folks "Hello" for me & be good!
Your Cousin Joe
