Letter #52
December 5, 1951
Dearest Betty

Well yesterday we moved up again. Are well forward. Should not have to move again for a day or so. Anyway, I don’t know if my last letter got back to you or not. The mail tent got burned the other night so could be one of my letters was destroyed.

Today I have to go forward and check some trucks for mines or booby traps. A 80 truck convoy was caught short (Army) so we are going to try to get some badly needed parts off of them. Hope everything comes out O.K.

Well I got us the Ord. Sec. A little put put generator for our lights & radio. Had to give our other one up, so didn’t try to get a big one. The Officers used our old one most of the time any way. Wonder how long we will keep this small one?

About my jeep…. ”have no” so we get along O.K. Have no strain getting a jeep any time I want one. All I have to do is ask.

Well mail goes out at 1300 today and I want to get this off before I go up front.

Your Bill
