Dearest Betty

Letter #99
May 13, 1951
Hi, Toots

Well here we are just waiting for the Laundry boys to come ramping out of the hills. All intelligence reports say 140,000 of them are prepared to jump us tonight or tomorrow but we lay better that 100,000 of them out before they break. Just hope the Army holds on our left flank. If they do we will have them.

Ah! Well let’s get to the better parts of life. Last night we had movies, “Kim”, tonight September Affair. Did they have everything so at the last minute as I was bathing, the Maj sent for me . Generator “hava no” so I borrowed one from the 1st Ord. Btn, and we had a show at 10:00 O’clock last night. Doesn’t get dark til then.

The Doctor came over and had me start his generator for him, gave me a pt. Of 100 proof and tonight I get my teeth cleaned. Was a good deal. Is very hard to get teeth cleaned out here.

Well, I’ll close now and have Kim mail this. Lots & lots of love,

Your Bill
