Hello Bud;
How's every little subject?
Got your letter yesterday that was mailed 7-10-43. I am a HA1/c now, &
I hope to be Pharm 3 class before long. Why do you keep wanting Bull?
Aren't there enough there for you to get your share? Well just keep up the
good work, I'll coach the football team. I like it here just fine, even
better than I did San Diego. Forty eight hours a week is too long to work
in one week, why don't you join the Navy and see the world ha ha! It seems
like you & Ivery are trying to overdo the old thing? Well one thing
about your "Yanks" - (jjjj) they really know how to cuss &
and show their ass. You want to stay clear before one of them sells the
Broklyn bridge to you. Haven't put anything up lately. What do you mean by
Crabs in a Marine Camp? Not as long as ?.C. is in tent, ha ha! Boy if you
ever decide to come to see me you'd better start in a darn good canoe.
That old case of "Clap" that Toby had is what got him down. I
heard that he got discharged.

He had Romatic fever. & a small shot of Lymphmylitis.
I guess you have had a lot of U.S.O. soldiers around there? Boy that U.S.O.
is allright - no shit - you can find a good U.S.O. club in any part of the
world & and their darn nice too. If you ever decided to help any of
the service organizations the U.S.O. is best. Well write soone. I guess
Don and the rest of those soldiers has to have something to occupy their
mind, because they don't know how to fight.
Be good.
