Dearest Betty:
Well here we are in the same spot for three days pretty good eh?
Brooke's note:(I am not sure where this is on this map--near the 38th Parallel)
We set up our Russian scope and watched the “Gravel Crunchers” fight up a mountain. Had lots of fun. Scott from the club dropped by today. He is in 1st Marines---said Stocks was hit pretty bad in the arm but the Doctor thought they could save it. Evacuated of course. His family is on the West Coast last report I had of them. Well we are supposed to drop back into reserves soon. Don’t know where or when. Novack is working out our point system now may have a list out soon. Hope so anyhow.
I painted a bunch of signs today for Maj. Coffee. He came in our tent and flapped on my bunk early this morning. Wanted some 4/11 signs done for his C.P (Command Post) so I made them all for him---Gone sleep…. Hava no Coffee. C.O. Bang Bang Bang only made one mistake. Paint is very dear out here so I got some Blue undercoating, some yellow Oxide, so what happened I had Navy colors---Gold and Blue. Got quite a rise, Everyone thought I did it on purpose Cause Coffee hates Annapolis officers, but really dear I didn’t Know.
Dropped by Service Btry. Today and saw Peel. He is O.K. taking every thing in his stride. We, the Ord. Section, are still attached to Hdq. Btry. Coffee again.
Made a sign
Well that is all the news Darling, I’ll love you forever.
Your Bill
