Worst summer for weather in 80 years. Received two packages from Edith dated from August but no mail today. Quotes story from Stars and Stripes about United States Army on the move through France, German prisoners captured, many German soldiers dead. Comments on newspaper clipping about the Copacabana and sends regard to various family members. Attempts to explain why the point system will not affect him. Feels there is too much optimism in the United States about an early end to the war and expresses concern that people on the homefront have no understanding of what the soldiers are going through and how they will function as returning veterans. Also concerns clothes, reading material, how we are all a product of our environment, and chatting with Cap.
