My darling Fran:

            Just worked up a good sweat playing ping pong since supper so I’ll cool off by writing my darling.  We’ve been fairly busy today getting our report ready for tomorrow.  Vince will have to go to Takamatsu tomorrow so maybe he’ll bring some mail back with him, I hope.  We had the police chief and his assistant here for dinner today. This afternoon we were invited to the theatre to see a Japanese drama.  Its four hours long but we only stayed a little over an hour because as you might guess we didn’t know what the hell it was all about.  Haven’t seen the British in the last few days but I suppose they’ll be breezing in tomorrow and say lets have a party. I like their company but they drink too damn much to suit me.  Darling you spoke about the mail service being poor. I write pretty nearly every night but our mail only goes out of here when Vince or someone else goes to Takamatsu.  Sometimes I have the whole weeks letters here so that’s probably why the mail isn’t coming your way so well.  Boy I sure was scared today, I took my tropical worsted pants to have them altered so that the next time I was invited to a Regimental dinner I’d have something nice to wear. Well when Jimmie brought them back they were only about four inches to short but fortunately she didn’t cut any of the excess off, she just turned it under. It would have been a damn shame to have a pretty pair of pants like them ruined. I also traded Krausse a pair of OW’s today for a pair of greens but I haven’t any green shirt to wear with them. Maybe I can talk him into trading me one of his shirts. I hope the weather is nice tomorrow so I can take some more pictures for my honey. She been looking my eyes out for some pictures from my darling but it looks as though she’s forgotten me.  Well honey I know this letter is short but I have nothing more to tell you, pardon me I do to.  I love you more than anything in the world and always will. I don’t want anybody else but my Fran. I hope I’ve made myself clear. Give my regards to your mother and dad, Geo and Blanch, and all our friends.

 

                                                                        With all my love,

                                                                        Your honey always.

 

P.S.

            I love you dear-forever.
