I know how busy you are and I especially appreciate your taking time out to enswer my dad's letter and to write the personal note.to me. I am just about to wind up my foreign service as I expect to leave here in the next few days aboard a ship to the West Coast. I have a couple of months of terminal leave due me end then I hope to be a civilian again. My post-war plans are now 2 little indefinite as I have been eway so long but I probably will be around the Kansas City or Chicago ares. You may know, that prior to my coming in the army, I worked for Swift & Company in both of those citiese At any rate, I plan on seeing Kansas play some basketball yet this wintere Best wishes to you and your femily for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Yeare Sincerely - Captain liam We Parrent, 0-1575055 227th QM BN, AeP.0. 77244 c/o PM San Francisco, California
