IN ENGINEERING (photo) CPL JACOB I. MOELLER
Dear Ed & Marie: Feb. 22, 1945 The paper has been following me through five or six different addresses since I’ve been here, so I thought it expedient to send you my current address. I have completed all the required Engineer Training courses given at this camp, so I don’t know exactly what the next move is.
There is a possibility of further advanced training at Fort Belvoir, Va., but that's not very likely. At any rate, I have high hopes of leaving Camp Claibourne in the near future. So, if you will send the paper to the following address, I'll greatly appreciate it. Sincerely yours, Cpl. Jacob I. Moeller 3748613 Co. B. 101st Bn. 17th Group, 3860th S.C.U. Camp Claibourne, La.
