Dearest Betty

No mail today, maybe tomorrow. I’ll look forward to mail call anyway. Today we got six cans of beer for our ration. Simmons & Stinson, as usual drank theirs right away and I still have mine plus the one we got a few days ago. Free compliments of Sioux City written on the can so that no one could sell it. A good idea I think for I am sure we have bought free beer.

Did I tell you I was down to see Green a few days back? We are going to move up a few miles tomorrow and the rainy season is upon us. Every thing is muddy at present and tent is dry. But when we move again, will be mud ah! Well we can’t all have “clicks” we, the ord section will make out ah!

Yes, I have 181 points, Street has 180 Frizelli 181. Don’t know what the others have---they aren’t on any list. As yet, Frizelli & I expect to get rotated same time in May if everything goes well. Maybe before, maybe later but I’ll write you, Sugar in plenty of time.. Thanks for fixing my shirts up. Will be wonderful to have clean pressed clothes to wear again.

Well, I’ll close now, Darling. Wish I could kiss you goodnight.

Your Bill
