Dearest Betty,

Lots & lots of mortar in here today. I was awakened at six this morning by two high velocity shells going over & they weren’t ours! So all day we have had patrols out and finally got a fix on one of them. Our 105’s cut loose for 35 minutes & we haven’t heard of them since, but the pesky old mortars still come. They are just like a bomb. You can’t hear them coming but they burst with a Hell of a bang. I took one patrol out this morning. Two “doggies” went up above our position with an interpreter and he was the only one came back. I found them and brought the bodies in. Found two Chinese or N. Koreans--- I don’t know which. Left them but I did get one of those Chinese bugles for a souvenir.

Well we had a good shower today at the 2nd Btn. And last night I radioed. Had seen the show Sampson & Delilah. Remember. A shoot-em-up tonight, I reckon I’ll go .

Well, I’ll close now with all my love forever.

Bill
