Vmail letter re Bulge Battle Feb 1945

My father, William D. MacDonald, wrote a letter to his brother, James J. MacDonald, responding to Jim's asking about the Battle of the Bulge.

Here is a copy of that Vmail letter You can see the Battery B commanding officer's signature of "cleared for census" (Captain Robert K. Liese) in the upper left hand corner of the letter. The letter was in Jim's camp attic in Bristol, NH for many years and got chewed up a bit by some mice; but it is still readable. The closing "Keep em rolling" refers to the family business, MacDonald's Medford Express, a moving company.
