In these letters to Webb, Schneider talks about a battery dinner with Jack Benny, Ingrid Bergman, Larry Adler, and Martha Tilton in Trostberg, Germany; inquires about Webb’s family and work; talks about how he has no updates on when he’s going to be leaving Europe; reminisces about spending time playing bridge with Webb; and talks about listening to the radio, playing bridge, and techniques for how he washed and dry cleaned his clothes. He then talks about how he will be heading onto a boat back for the United States soon; talks about his potential furlough at Camp Atterbury, Indiana; and discusses the differences between European and American trains while writing from a train heading to France. Lastly, Schneider talks about his train ride and viewing destroyed equipment and the countryside; talks about his experiences in France during Bastille Day; and discusses staying in France while waiting to get shipped back home. In his last letter of the month postmarked July 22nd, Schneider instructs Webb to stop sending mail to him at his wartime address since he will be returning home shortly after she receives the letter.
