Hi, Sug
Yes, another letter from my best girl today. Delivered Kim’s to him, he is very proud of his letters and will answer them soon---so he said. That word you asked for led to a lot of arm & hand waving and all I can get out of it is “Korean speak Big Book. You figure it out.
Nothing new around here today, Sugar. Just one of those days we just laid around the tent.
I got my hair cut, made a sea food salad out of canned shrimp, lobster, crab etc that fellows had from boxes sent from home. Not enough by them self but plenty combined. Red pepper & chili sauceYes, I am sure I’ll land on the West coast (all do) and Clum & I have talked over getting across country and we think we will hitch hike---whoa Lady not on the road, we will contact Army Navy or Marine Corps air stations seeking a plane to Cherry Point, Washington or some place close to J’Ville. If we can’t we will ride a train much faster and boy will that ever be a long trip. I dread the time wasted from the time we leave here until we get home, but it will seem years it will take about a month to make the trip. Have to stop four days in Japan, get our gear we left, have it inventoried and get more shots. Outfitted, Schooled on what to & do upon arrival in the States. Get leave & orders to duty stations---one Hell of a big run around. Wish they would bring the entire Div. Home at once ah! Well I’ll walk, just to be back with you.
All my love
Bill
