Dearest Betty

Letter # 73
April 5, 1951
Chun Chon
Hello, Sugar,

Lots of mail day before yesterday. No mail in or out yesterday. Kim rec, his letter and it was worth every effort to have seen him. He spent most of yesterday answering it. I read his letter to you of course. I am sure you will get a kick out of it and he is most sincere in every thing he said. He is very interested in all of our families.

Brother are we in Artillery ally now. Four miles from the 38th and guns guns guns! All of the eleventh plus three reg. Of Army Artillery with 105, 155 and 8 mm or 240 mrtr. Plus search lights and they aren’t used for anti aircraft but to focus on cloud banks & reflect light into the vallies for the foot troops to see by. Lots of mines ---several people killed by anti personnel mines. Haven’t had to clear any yet, hope I don’t.

Well, I’ll close now and write again tomorrow.

Dug a fox hole tonight---my first. Hope I don’t have to use it.

Well good night, my love, a hot Jazz band on the radio so will be asleep before too long.

All my love,

Bill
