Dear Folks:
The more I write the more I know you will be relieved so here’s a few minutes before bedtime for a short letter. Just returned from a show, a clearing in the coconut trees. The natives were there and as it was a ‘horse opera’ they loudly voiced their approval. All women have babies but they don’t make much noise. Not many good looking ones. They want mattress covers or any kind of clothing to put together a shapeless gown. Every other one is pregnant so perhaps the dresses should be that way. A few of them said the Japs gave them a bad time, but I guess the Nips got some in return. I’m getting lots to eat and some good sleep also, so don’t worry. It seems to be cooler here and a swim occasionally feels good. I can’t seem to sit down and write a long newsy letter but perhaps later. But don’t worry for I’m perfectly okeh and going to stay that way.
Love,
