Dearest Betty
We are in a very pretty camping place now with a nice stream just beside our abode and I am at peace with my fellow man. The sun is shining and I love you even if I haven’t had mail for two days and the last letter mentioned Joe so I know he is OK. You said he would stay on the porch with Shirl and also that he was “courting” again so he is bound to be OK.
(Note: this was before neutering)
Are we ever getting good chow for a change. The Army has big trucks with freezers on. Chicken yesterday noon, steak today at noon, more chicken tonight, eggs for breakfast.
I better get a letter off to you today so that you will have one on Mother’s Day which is not too far off. I wrote Mother today also ---one of my rare letters (a nice one too).
I told you Frizelli was rotated didn’t I? I am next on the list if they ever get another StSgt to come out ---therin hints that a large draft on NCO’s are due out soon but don’t get hepped up. I’ll be here just as soon as I can, probably make it August.
Well, Honey this isn’t much of a Mother’s Day letter but will have to do.
I love you, Mother Betty.
Your bill
