Troop A, 125 Cav. Sq. [(Mecz) A.P.O. 230 o/o Postmaster New York, New York Sept 19, 1944 Dear Dave, The Scuttlebutt has been comming through just fine. Keep on sending them untill I get home again. I hope it isn't much longer untill I can thank you in person. My last night in Belgium was the most pleasant one I had in Europe. A little doll almost stold my hart. I didn't think it could be done, but a moon light night and the right girl can do anything to a person. Especialy when you booth get in the mood. The war has been going along just fine and I am proud to say I am in Holland. I will be happier when I am back in good old Washington, Iowa. I have lots of help writting this letter. There are several people looking over my sholder and trying to read what I write. I don't think there is a one that can read it. How would you like to own a Bar like this one. There are ten large mirrors in back of the bar. Eight glass shelves all lined with wine glasses trimed in gold. The Bar counter is made of mahogine with a big silver tap in the center. The floor is of old granite. In the other room there is a nice orchestra platfor and a big dance floor. The deceration are silver and gold, fringes charges. It is really a swell place. I haven't sampled the drinks yeat. Always, Clarence [Pfc. Clarence E. Haifley]
