Hi, my Darling,
Received letters late last night 11:00 dated or mailed rather 28, 29, 30,& 31. Was so glad to hear from you. Also got one from Shirl, also Kim rec. Her letter. He gets such a thrill out of getting a letter and I am so glad you all have written him. He has no one to even talk to but us, no natives, no people of his own and he is so good and tries so hard. He studies all the time and can speak very well now. Can’t write much and has one Hell of a time expressing himself but does come up with quite a bit of wit at times. For instance Schekler was kidding him about learning the English alphabet. Stinson was sounding the letters to him so all at once he (Kim) turned on Schekler and said “God Damnit you say this”. With that he rattled off the Korean alphabet followed by the Jap one. Of course we all got a big laugh out of that & Schek got mad.. He is that kind.
Well, Sugar Pie, no news, the river has gone down & we are back on routine. G-2 has it that we may expect air attacks soon. Hope they are wrong as usual. Tell Shirl I’ll drop her a line soon.
Tell Shirl thanks for the clover. I’ll put it with the other one you sent me a long while ago and will keep it.
(Found this behind a driver's license in a box of items from Dad's billfold)
Well, Darling, all my love to you both for ever.
Bill
