Sylvia talks about food and clothing available at his Camp [Lewis]. Just heard in the office that Italy has unconditionally surrendered and that Russia will be a party to the exact terms. Says another phase of the War is over and it means that it is one step closer to his coming home, and that many lives will be saved by this. Moe has now been in the Army for six months. She is glad his hay fever is not bothering him.
