you, and we will be leoking and wishing for your early return.

Te Capt. F. Re "Rusty" Frink, APO 84, New York - Rusty, we were de-
lighted te get your letter. It came just befere we were finishing our Re-
bounds, so I am using a part ef yeur highly interesting letter. It came
just in the nick of time. The Rebounds. woultn't be complete without a re-
cital ef seme of your harrowing experiences. —

Rusty says, "From my particular front I have little te report; things
have quieted dewn new that the trapped krauts in our rear areas have been
cerralled and our supply lines reopened. We'have been sitting here on the
Elbe River for some time, straining our eyes for a glimpse of the Russians,
whe are very clese since we were given a no fire order not 15 mine ages «
It was quite a rat-race getting here from the Rhine; more often than net we
moved day and night, sometimes meeting stiff resistance, sometimes none
whatseeverse -« « Spring has hit morth Germany in ferce now; we're all getting
the usual fever and just plain la,y. I imagine spring has reached the campus.
I can picture how levely it must be at home, and hope that somehow we can
manage that last tripe . . . I imagine Bob has developed a fine bedside
mannere Isn't he in Kansas City?" Yes, Rusty, as yeuwill read elsewhere in
this letter, Bob is at Bell Memorial. ;

My first hitch at this letter was a week ago. We doa part ef it, then we
have interruptions and a day passes, or maybe two, and then we write again.
Things on the international frent have happened so rapidly that we are engjmered
of the idea te carry this aleng hoping that the grand finale in Europe would
happen befere we finished the letter se we could say, Selah’ But enough has alread
happened for us te philesophically gaze back two thousand years and think ef the
lewly Nazarene whe taught fellewship, leve of one's neighbor, and equality. And
then to meve our sights forward and think of a group of men whe in an era less
than two hundred years ago and up to the present time kicked a let ef these
theories temporarily: into discard - Frederick the Great, Nietzsche, Bismarck,
Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, and the rest ef the outlaw gang are as impotent
as their teaching. A limerick runs through my mind which expresses it aptly:
The mother bee is a very busy soul....She has no time for birth controleceee
Perhaps that is the reasen in times like these.....There are so many sons eof

With V-E Day fast approaching may we offer a toast te our all-American
javedrinkers when we say, “Let's dunk Deenitz, and let's clip the Nips, leering
at us through these inhuman slitse And when Russia's Uncle Joe, whose limitless

maelstrom will everflew quaking Tokye, then hell-center will be no mo'",

To all ef yeu Jayhawk Rebeunders, we are anxiously awaiting your return in
the same spirit as these beautiful lines:

“Home is the sailer, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hills."

Very sincerely yours,
