(This letter was written to me on my 16th Birthday)
Hello, Sugar
I suppose you are no the proud possessor of a N.C. State Driver’s License and are well on your way to asking for the car on Friday nights to go to Pine Lodge. I just hope you become as good a driver as your mother. Then I won’t have to worrie so much about you.

(This was our car. My mom's folks came to visit us and are in this picture)
Jimmy Peele came by to see me today. He doesn’t know yet where he will go to. Asked for the 4th Btn. 11 Marines but thinks they will send him to the 1st instead. He also brought me four cans of beer. Gave me a lot of scoop about Glendale Road & Camp Lejeune.
Well, Sugar, Happy Birthday to you and tell Betty I’ll write her after mail call tonight. Loads of love to you all.
Dad
