My darling wife:-

            Didn’t write yesterday as I didn’t do a thing all day therefore my letter wouldn’t have contained any more than I love you. I’m sure you realize that fact at least you better. Today was our first day of school so from now until 17th April (graduation) I’ll be attending school six hours a day. The course is nothing more than a refresher to that we had in (Holabird, Pennsylvania) but they make certain you study here not fool around as we did in Baltimore. We have exams every Sat. and you better pass so I guess my evenings for the next three weeks I’ll be studying. When we complete the school we will receive our badge and credentials and then assigned to a permanent region either Japan, Korea, or Philippines. Cookie and Bohan are going to Fukushima as temporary agents. Thats about 60 miles north of Tokyo so I don’t know whether I’ll see them any more or not. Out of our gang that pals around together there is left Morlini, Sankey, Stan, Cannan, Wheeler, & Struve. Some of those fellows you haven’t heard me speak of but they are all in our gang. Those fellows going out on temporary duty will eventually be called in for school. Eventually This means we can finally discontinue living out of our barracks bags and unpack and get settled at least for about four weeks. As yet I haven’t gotten you any souvenirs but don’t worry honey I’ll be here long enough to pick you up some nice things. No one has had any mail for the last four days. I don’t know what the hold up is but one of these days we will get letters in bunches. I still haven’t seen or heard anything about any packages, I hope they haven’t gotten lost or stolen. Send me a package every week and send a couple of cartons of cigarettes and some candy other than that there’s nothing I can think of now. Well honey there’s no need to tell you I miss you because from what you say in your letters you’re in the same situation. I must tell you one thing though, I love my darling wife more than anything in the world and always will so be a good girl and I’ll be a good girl. By the way I showed a couple of the Jap women that work here your picture and they really think you are something. All they could say was very pretty, very pretty and honey I’m inclined to believe them 100%. Give my regards to your mother & dad, Geo. & Blanch, and all our friends.

                                                                                                With all my love,

                                                                                                            Your honey.
