Letter # 65
March 19, 1951
Hi, Sugar
Kangnung

Got two letters from you and thanks for the note enclosed with the Digests. I know you haven’t rec. my letter asking you to do so--- that must be our old minds running together again.

Well, Sugar Pie, don’t know why I ever started this letter for the radio crowd are here in force trying to see how we made out today. Quite a bit of shooting. A counter attack was repelled just forward of our position. We are seeing more and more of the horrors of war. We don’t mind seeing dead kids or even our own, but today a little girl came down the road with a small bundle on her back. Just as she got abreast of Love Btry. They had a fire mission. The poor kid went berserk running & screaming around. I caught her and that didn’t help her at all. She kept holding her little ears & yelling. I took her into I my tent and got Kim to talk to her. He finally got her quiet. She has no living relatives that she knows of and she went on her way to God only knows where. There are so many of them and all of the ones not dead are under 10 or 11 years old just wandering around. Not a house standing. Nothing to eat never knowing if some sentry will shoot them , wander into a mine field, or get run over by trucks or jeeps moving faster than anything they have ever seen. God, Darling I am so glad it is all being done over here instead of Jacksonville U.S.A.

Well, Sugar I dreamed of you Playing Braham’s Lullaby for me. Thanks I’ll love you forever & ever my Darling.

Your Bill

P.S. Haven’t forgotten about our anniversary, Sugar. Just feeling sort of Low. Will try and snap out of it tomorrow & write.
