Dearest Betty
So glad you had a Thanksgiving dinner. Wish I could have taken you both out as usual. Boy what I could do with a tough old piece of Beef—anything solid to chew on.. We have plenty to eat but of course none of it solid in the sense of the word. We had hot cakes yesterday thanks to my Darling. I gave Tate two & he really enjoyed them.
Really, Dearest, you know more about what is going on than we do here. Most of our news is strictly “Skuttlebut” and once in a while a Stars & Stripes gets to us several days old of course. Our Reg. Commander was shot night before last by China boys. They are really big jokers. Have quilted pants, coats & shirts. Blew a bridge just ahead of us about ½ mile---got several of them. They had American made grenades, truck and first aid packs. Some speak English very well. I am sending you a small map You said yours didn’t show the Chosin Reservoir. This will show you.
By the way did you find the short in the car? Probably a bare wire some place. Hope Shirl had a good time at the game. Give her my love, Sugar a kiss and scratch Joe a time or two. Of course you keep most of my Love cause I do dearly miss you, my darling and love you lots & lots.
Your Bill
