Scope and Contents

10 letters. He writes about the work ahead with demobilization, the U.S. 9th Army and the 5th Armed Division who are leading the army to Berlin, Roosevelt's death, how the German countryside shows they were prepared for war, and how the Germans should now be treated. He asks his wife to send boxes to him, though she said it was discouraged by the Post Office. In most of April's letters he talks of different aspects of his homecoming and shows his fear of how things might have changed between them, but he also lets her know what he thinks of some of her letters.
