 Dearest Mother and Dad,

             Boy, Oh boy, did I get good service from you today! Yep, I got a letter from you in nine days.  I think I also have all your old ones because I have received about forty in the last two weeks.  I guess they came by boat.  That is why I like V-mail better.  But write a few regular air mails so I get clippings.  I like that very much too.  (Mom, you don’t use all the letter space, unfold it).

             I visited the branch Dorothy knew about as I was there on my seven day leave.  It is a wonderful place.  Reminds me very much of Miami, Florida.  But I don’t live there.  I live quite a distance from there.  Reminded me of the train ride to El Paso.

             Mary wrote today.  Wish I could share you her letter.  I can’t figure her out.

                                                                                                 Love,

                                                                                                 Son
