You see the three musketeers sit around the table here shooting the bull, so while it rolls on I'll see if I can make any sense out of this. The three are Irishmen-one Capt. Nixon, and Lt. Welsh and last of all the Major. Now Capt. Nixon is the biggest drunk I've ever seen, known, or hope to see. He's worth a small fortune, never'll have to work a lick in his life, but absolutely the most reliable man I've ever known. Welsh is as bullheaded as you'd expect an Irishman to be.

—May 16, 1945, Letter to DeEtta

At the present time we're (Nixon and I) ribbing Lt. Welsh about marrying an Irish girl by the name of Kitty Grogan. He hopes to be married inside of four months. We're carefully explaining that some 4F will grab her off before that. If he does manage to get married, we promise to steal the bride for the balance of his leave unless he hires us to protect him from others who may have the same intentions. Price is 1 qt. of scotch for Nixon and 1 qt. of ice cream for myself. He doesn't take us seriously.

—May 30, 1945, Letter to DeEtta

I've mentioned Capt. Nixon I believe, of Nixon, N.J. [W]ell I've got him writing his first letter since last Nov. to his wife. Quite a guy, he's having one hell of a time getting organized and down to work. Claims he hasn't anything to say to her, just to his dog. He has a baby boy that he's never seen, but he won't talk about his son, it's always his dog. Knowing you, why I know you could spend an enjoyable two or three hours talking about how awful he is-if you knew him. However I'll tell you he's idealistic. I've known him three years and lived and slept aside and fought with him for two. This guy loves one thing right at this stage of life: a bottle of spirits or a fight. He's OK in a fight, but Jesus, outside of that he's absolutely the most undependable man you'd ever want to find.

Since we've been overseas he's only run around with one girl. An English girl and she was anything but beautiful. However she was a good listener and companion. In fact I am not too sure but this guy might end up staying over here in England. Ah yes, things are really snafu-and don't ask me what that means.

Now here we have Welsh & Nixon mixing Vodka, rum & vermouth-oh boy it won't be long now.

June 2, 1945, Letter to DeEtta

(Writing about the job offer at Nixon Nitration Works) “I don't count on a thing until I have it," Dick confessed, "but it sounds good."

September 2,  1945, Letter to DeEtta

Do you know what this new regimental C.O. has gone and done? Declared me essential. Why? Well you know all those nice things one can say at a time like that. Me, with 100 points as of V-E Day, and about the only officer in the regiment who has enough points to get out, and who doesn't want any part of the army, stuck until the division goes home. Which won't be this year. Boy, do you smell smoke? Don't worry, it's just me.

Capt. Nixon left this week, which makes everything just dandy. I am about as lonesome as a lovesick swab who married a Wave on an eight hour pass.

Some interesting points from Biggest Brother: The Life of Major Dick Winters, the man who led the Band of Brothers.

Dick had difficulties readjusting to civilian life after returning home. He couldn’t sleep and didn’t want to meet people. Ms. Burgess, the wife of Dick’s classmate at college and army friend Rick Burgess, came to welcome Dick home, but Dick didn’t want to go down to greet her. (When at Camp Croft, Dick loaned $125 to them so they could get married.)

Dick was offered a job as assistant personnel manager by an acquaintance of his grandfather, at about the same time, Nix called Dick asking about the job offer at Nixon Nitration. Nix had pressed the issue before they shipped home, but Dick said he was still considering it.

Two weeks after he returned home to Lancaster, Dick took a train to New York City and met Nixon at the Penn Station. (from the book, “Winters liked the idea of seeing Nixon again”) Not having suitable civilian clothes, Dick wore the army dress uniform.

Afterward, Nix took Dick to Yale Club and showed off Dick to his alumni friends.

Nix took Dick to visit his mother at the hospital. Dick knew Nix’s parents were divorced at the time. Dick recalled she was very pleasant, and she said she heard a lot of good stories about Dick.

Nix then took Dick to New York’s bars and nightclubs, where Nix drank and Dick sit uncomfortably. At one place, when they were sitting at a table, a drunk man saw Dick’s uniform and tried to pick a fight. It pissed off Nix (from the book, Nix told the man to “blow”) and Dick almost lost it.

They took a cab back to Yale Club. Nix gave $50 to the driver for the fare and asked for change. The driver saw Nixon was drunk and ran off without giving back the change. Dick was stunned and pissed but Nix was just like whatever.

The next day Dick met with Stanhope for the job interview. The hours and working environment of the other job offer were dreadful so Dick accepted the job at Nixon Nitration Works.

Dick’s parents were opposed to him taking the job at Nixon Nitration and wanted him to stay in Lancaster, but Dick moved to New Jersey anyway.
