Dearest Betty

Letter #48
January 26, 1951
Pohang

This letter was written 24 days after # 47. They had moved from the Masan area to Pohang(about 70 miles north) It was a very sentimental love letter after the death of his favorite brother. I don't know what happened to the letters from January 2 to the 26th 1951. I am not posting the "love letter" out of consideration to my mom.



Letter # 49
February 1, 1951
Pohang

So Jimmy Peel is coming over eh? That draft is due here February 15---Will try and see him. I just returned from a three day reconnaissance patrol up north. Saw no Chinese but did brush with a few N. Koreans. Nothing to hurt.

Tonight we are having Spaghetti & meatballs in “The 1st Separate Ord. Mess” Frizelli been cooking the sauce all afternoon. Smells great so I better stop and get a bit first.

Your Bill
