Christmas 1942
This is a year of confusion and destruction.
to expect that there could be a merry
Christmas for many, would be presumptu-
ous-but I wish that you may find some-
thing,-somewhere in this jumbled mess
Christmas to bring you merriment-
and that the coming year may bring us all
closer to victory, peace, and an opportunity
to build happiness with other peoples,
Sincerely,
Harry G. Bookstaber
Lieutenant, Corps. Of Engineers
Army of the United States
