Letter
1945 · Edinburgh
by Sgt. Bruce Shattuck
Edinburgh, 1945. Letter. Very good. Dear Grace and Gramma: Just a line or two this morning whilst waiting for the chow line to subside. I am on the fourth day of my furlough here and have found this city most impressive. Talk about Story Book Castles - there are more castles around here than one can count. Just as you would picture them, high, black, gloomy and massive outlined against a dreary sky or on the rocky coast. I was swimming in the Firth of Fourth yesterday and want to play a little golf on the famous St. Andrews course before returning. The war news is cerrtainly giving us a lot of optimism although the surrender will not effect our homecoming date to any great extent. It will certainly be wonderful to know that the world is once more at peace. I will write again soon - With love, Bruce. (Inventory #: 1720)
