Dearest Betty

Letter #113
June 15, 1951
Hello, Sugar

Just got back from an overnight trip to Wonju and found two mighty fat letters from you, plus one from Mother and a card from Shirl.

Been very hot here the past day or so but now it is raining so things will cool off and the dust will go. I suppose we will be moving up a ways tomorrow, usually do on a rainy day.

No news, Darling, just routine. We ran off a couple of 5ths of whisky for Tate’s birthday, gave Jimmy some ah! Yes, we got a ration of coke, one bottle per man at 10 cents per---I gave mine to Kim.

You should see our still made out of water cans, copper tubing and a VT fuse box.

Had to go to Mike Btry. In this rain to fix guns. Never saw such demise every time it rains M. Guns out.

Well I’m cold & wet so better stop this now.

All my love,

Bill
