Hey, You
What gives, I just wrote you a letter and here I am again. Must be love or maybe I am just lonesome, or maybe I am disillusioned with this damned withdrawal. Pretty hard for some of us old Marines to take falling in with the Army tactics. They aren’t are way at all.
Well Street & I put on a batch of brew with Tate’s instructions of course---blackberry ja,, sugar, yeast & water in a 5 gal. Can. Should take tour or five days. Wonder how it will turn out, what voltage? Will let you know when we tap it.
Kim wants a camera very bad, that is why I asked you to price one for me. He has been saving his money to buy one, of course we will have to convert his Won into dollars. Exchange is up now 6000 Won for 1 $. He gets 40,000 Won a month so let me know what a cheap one costs & we will send you the money for it.
Sure wish I could help you piddle around in the yard in the evenings. How is Joe, you haven’t mentioned him lately. Is he still with you or he got himself run over?
(This is Joe)Novack showed me some pictures Ginny sent him of his kids. Cut his mother-in-law’s picture off of a family group. Damndest fellow I ever saw. Sure forgot what I was going to say.
The generator stopped so had to do a little repair job on it.
Tell Shirl I’ll write her tomorrow. Meantime I am going to bed, didn’t get much sleep last night. Maybe my Betty will come to see me tonight. Could be , so all my love, Darling. Till next we talk via Mr. Parker & free mail. The Ike I spoke of is Eisenhower. Tended bar with Whitt.
Love, Bill
