Bob Allen was home for three weeks before he was inducted into the service.
I got a letter from him today after he had returned to Philadelphia. He

is going to live in the barracks, but we played golf almost every day

that he was here and we talked much about you and some of the other boys.
You can bet your life he is only one of many who think that 2. P. Hunter

is tops. Here's boosting for your outstanding battang average against

the slit-eves.

lst Lieut. Clint Kanaga, of the Marines, has returned from Guadalcanal
with an attack of malaria. He visited our home and we had a grand time
when he told of some of the sorties against those slimy, slit-eyed Japs.
He is convalescing in the Olathe Naval Air Base Hospital. He looks fine
at times, but the old malaria has got him again. So it may be some time
before he sees active service again. He told me one Jap lieutenant who
was a graduate of the University of Oregon and spoke English fluently,
said, "You will never get Hawaii back. You know we already landed on
the California coast.” Clint said he didn't argue with him because he
knew the Jap would think he was lying to him. Who knows but what some
of those monkeys without tails over there believe that some of their

ilk have already established a bridgehead in San Francisco now?
