Good Morning Sugar

Well, can’t be too many more of these Sunday mornings that I will be getting up without you. Just don’t seem to be able to concentrate on any one thing. All I think of is you, Shirl & home!

Ah! Well we will ride a ship when we leave ---takes about fourteen days from Japan to California so I suppose I’ll be home by August any way.


People sure go for things when they find out you are leaving. Someone stole my pistol & holster,& flashlight and every day someone asks me to leave them my note pad. Everything I have picked up even the generator but will leave all that to Nester & Street to use till they leave, of course Kim gets most of my clothes

Well dinner time dear, I’ll be seeing you.

All my love

Bill
