A Year in a Day
It is now the end of June in 1945. George Edwin Farrar had been liberated almost two months before on May 2. Since liberation, he had been for a time in a hospital in France and was now in England. He expected to leave for the states in the immediate future, leaving England that night.

American Red Cross
EnglandDearest Mother:
This will be my last letter from England, as we are leaving to-night. I will call you the first chance I get, after we reach the States. It will take a good while to cross, as we are going to be on a very small ship. It will be nice to cross on a ship, as you know I have never been on one before. I can’t hardly wait to get home. There is so much I want to hear from you. I guess it will be like living a whole year in one day. It has been one year today that I left the States.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Gene hasn’t a nice girl by now. He should be about old enough, and I know with his looks, he is getting along O.K. I guess you are still about the only girl I have, and I love it. I can just thank God that I didn’t have a girl to worry about while in Germany, on top of all things else. Well there isn’t anything else to write about, so will close here.
Love to all,
Ed
