Dearest Betty

Well here we go again. We are off to Hamhunge (strictly scuttlebutt) to embark on AR.’s “Navy Transports” for the U.S. and Camp Elliot. Now please don’t quote me for I don’t know. We may go to Japan, Guam, siapan or any place in this wide ocean. But we are packing here to go aboard ship tomorrow. I am trading “Korean Katy” for 12 qts of state side whiskey to the fly boys at Wonsan. I will have to divide up but we are going to have a party the last nite here in Korea. Street and I are building up our hopes on how to get to Siapan. Shouldn’t be too hard as we are so over strength in Staff N.C.O.’s. Of course I will have Novack working on it for me too.

Well, Darling that is all for today. It is chow time now (chow’s lousy). We still go over and then come back and cook something for our self.

No mail today, but I have been very lucky while here. I have rec. mail every day and somet8imes two, thanks to you, Darling. Well so long dear, I love you lots and lots.
