Dearest Betty

Letter #53
February, 6, 1951
Hello, Sweetheart

More about Kim, our only diversion. Last night he was telling us about four Koreans who went out fishing with some sort of explosives. A Marine told him to light it, count to three and throw. They made a mistake and counted to four so in Kim’s words “one, two, three, Pour….boat have no---men have no----fish have yes.” We all had quite a laugh out of him. We have allotted him 15 minutes a day now to Korean music or news on the radio. Quite a boy.

(I found this in my Dad's wallet contents. I have written a letter to the address)



We have a most beautiful day today. All snow is gone and sun is shining but tonight may be snowing again.

We had macaroni & cheese today, made an oven for the top of our stove pretty good. Last night we had barbequed pork chops--- made me so lonesome for you. Just the thought of that dish brought you to me so much forcefully and no mail too that I stayed awake long after bed time just thinking of you.

Your Bill
