Mon. P.M.

Hi Folks.

Not much in the news except that we are all restricted because of an epidemic of Scarlet Fever. Have been for over a week and if all goes well it will be lifted tomorrow. I hope so.

Today I stood my first ‘Guard of Honor’ I was one of ten picked to be the ‘Personal Guard’ of Gen Gomez a big shot from Brazil. Lots of fun.

Well if everything goes as planned I’ll be seeing you this weekend. Helen’s birthday is the ‘28^th’ and I want to surprise her. If you get a chance tell Clyde or Betty that I’ll be there sometime Sat. Clyde should know but just in case he doesn’t, you can tell him.

Lots of love to you both and best regards to all.

Buck sgt.
