Dearest Betty

No mail today our mail is all fouled up. Probably the F.P.O. heard the rumor that we were leaving and sent our mail back
Eh?

Well we are moving steadily forward and getting colder by the day. Lots of snow. Tire chains are the uniform of the day for vehicles on the mountain. Korean Katy has a new name, Priapism, medical name for permanent erection. (she has changed her gender) The Doctor named it that. Boy does the old boat run good now with the new motor etc. all put on. Started it up today at noon and right away Tate wanted to go to Ord. 45 miles to Hamhung ---so off we go! Was dark when we got back and very cold

Will have to find Washey Washey Wonson tomorrow and get my gear all cleaned up cause we will be going up on the Plateau soon. Yet, I know of no news, Honey everything is O.K. a little shooting but not too much---mostly snipers. Have to have a blackout every nite but we have our windows all covered with canvas. We got new stove today and of course we have a fuel shortage but our stove burns diesel so we keep warm.

Well nite nite Sugar , I love you lots & lots

Your Bill
