Dearest Betty

Lots has happened in the past few days and I have not kept up my correspondence very good so let’s look back. We have been doing six months maintenance jobs on the guns. Have one in the morning and one in the afternoon pulled over to our tent & work on them here pulling tiches and breaking down the entire gun. Quite a job along side that I had to make another swimming pool down the creek aways. The first one flooded all the foxholes & dugout on both sides of the creek. Also we got a novice again for one week so you see I been busy. And on top of that it is hot as Hell from eight in the morning till nine at night.

Well, Sugar we really got a fire mission this afternoon. Extended 4500 range from 1300 till 1800. Something to do with this “Cease fire” they are working on. A Hell of a way to cease I think.

Honey I am supposed to leave here around 7, 8, or 9---that is the best I can tell you that is unless something happens. Kim received his camera OK & is going wild. Well I will stop now.

Love
Bill
