        Dear Folks,
                        
        How is anyone?? Well I'm leaving these doctors a lot here. How is that
        "cold draft" Donald [Townsend] getting along? Toby Moore is
        here in Ward H. He is off the Tennessee. He has somekind of fever.
        Edward Ehyl is in this Marine camp here. Well I volunteered for Marine
        duty today. I decided I might as well be a hero when I come back. They
        guaranteed me I would be killing japs in 10 weeks. Isn't that nice. That
        means I will be leaving here soone, because we get 8 weeks for first
        aid. Edward Perkins is here someplace. I havn't located him yet. Write
        soone & be good.
