Pvt. Cedric Versteeg Writes From Belgium Dear Ed and Marie: Feb. 20, ‘45 Hello, and how is everything there in the States and in town? I would give most anything to receive a word from home, I hope Kay gave you this address for the paper, as that is what I'm looking for too. Since coming over I've seen quite a little of France, some of Holland, Germany and am now in Belgium. We have a show about every other night and the open nights are for church services. Yesterday the Red Cross club mobile was here and passed out coffee and doughnuts; I saw in a registry the name of Albert Moss which had been signed in August of ‘44. There was also a Kuiken of Hull and a Moret of Boyden signed but no date. It is hard to tell where they may have been at the time. I want to say hello to all my friends and old customers, and do hope and pray my business continues so that it will at least be a job for me when this thing is all over. So long for now, not much news to write. Sincerely, Ced
