4/5

…itself is not particularly the best by a long shot but it has an excellent lens and an excellent shutter arrangement. I'm still trying to get a Contex, Leica, Roloflex or the like and have a lead on one so maybe I'll get a good one yet. Mine has a speed of 250. Oh yes — the Burgermeister is trying to get me one too. He said that I just missed out on a Leica with all the gadgets that go with it. Just my luck!

After all this I finally had to go to the city of Resnheim to get the payroll for themen. But before this did have lunch — after all who am I to go without food! The city of Rosenheim is quite a large city from what I saw of it. My driver and I then got back to the battery but it was too late to pay the men so I went back to Haushain and answered some more problems, after this back to the battery and then chow. After chow I paid the men and following getting rid of about $4,000 found out that there was to be a show for the men in our show-house. The men arranged for a German vaudeville show for about $60.00. Enclosed is the program. The show iteself was swell and all those in the cast spoke or sang in English. Of course their use of the English language was a little cock-eyed but all in all they tried and did pretty good. When the show was over I was so darned tired I just turned in and called it a night. In between times I managed to [get] the supply situation under control so now that job's showing good results.
