001526035 520__ $$aCorrespondence from Sgt. Leo Volz to Ann Ruxer. He's just back from furlough and was really pissed off at the world to see how people live (and he knows it's the same back home) as though they are unaware of the war going on. And he heard from Betty (no further identification) telling him how to write his letters, to act like a man not a child, so he wrote her back and told her what she could do. And then he got her letter which wasn't so good, in which she told him to let her know if they should continue to write), and he was down in the dumps. He then wrote and said what he thought and didn't care what the hell went on. He's told her he doesn't care what she does because he would do the same, so it's up to her. In terms of his letters, he doesn't have anything to write about. She's asked if somebody told him something about her and he says no, and even if they had, he would not believe it. If Betty says something to her, Ann should just tell her off. She could do whatever she pleases about this letter. He knows he's done her dirty at times even back and home, and had it been anybody else, he would have been told off earlier. He knows she was still in school when they first dated, thus he's to blame for everything. She's said that she would like to be with him and then they could get things straight. He, too, wishes for this, but it's been 2 years since he saw her and it's likely to be 2 more. He will write back to her if she writes to him, but it's hear choice....and when this is all over, he will come to her and see what she has to say. NOTE: these correspondents will marry, and were married 53 years at his death in 2000.
