Dear Mom and Dad

            Well I got into town again yesterday, as you can no doubt see. Who says Old Hawaii is gone? Three of us went in together and really had a swell time. Fred and Emmitt both trained with me at Roberts.

            We were going swimming but with my bad finger I decided not to. Guess I haven’t told you about that. Was making a frame for a mirror I bought the other day. The knife slipped and cut the middle knuckle of my first finger about half way off. Got it taped together and a splint on it no till it grows together again.

            Moving out to training area this afternoon so I guess the fun is over for now. It’s going to be pretty rough. If my letters get a little slack don’t worry as ill probably be on the go like boot camp.

            I went over here to the ice rink last night. I had a great time. First place I’ve been over here where there were plenty of girls for everyone. Most places they fight over them like a bunch of dogs over a bone.

            Well nothing else new here. Hope you like the three solo portraits. I thought they turned out pretty good.

            Write often. I’ve only gotten one letter so far. The one you wrote the 16th to Fort Ord.

            Love to you both

            Bye bye

            Jack.

 

P.S. Sure am anxious to get those pictures of Sheri.
