Dearest Ike,
I was really glad to hear from you. I
don’t hear very often but it really seems good to when I do hear. I hope you
weren’t hurt very much. War is terrible, but still we back home can’t realize
what it is. I hope it will be over before long.
I played
basketball yesterday for the first time in a long time. It is getting just about
too hot to play here though. Everything is so green. It has been raining today
and everything looks greener than ever. I really love the spring of the year.
I won’t be
over here but about five more weeks and I sure will be glad. That is unless I
come to summer school and I don’t think I will for it will seem too good to get
home and not have to study all the time. Study is all I ever do over here. I
never studied in high school and I just saw what I managed by not studying.
I went to a
banquet at home about two weeks ago and I really had fun. Everything was
decorated so perfectly. This room was decorated like an island and there was a
moon in one corner and the only lights they had were candle lights. I wish you
could have seen it.
Henace Daniel is in
Love Always,
