many fereign perts which was an experience te see but have seen entirely tee much water, which I weuldm't say is enjeyable. Net being able te mentionthe pert, I can tell you that I have been te India. It is beyend cemparisen the werst ceuntry I have ever visited. When the geed Lerd laid it eut He surely must have had an eff day. Seme ef the sights yeu see are hardly believable unless one witnessed it himself. Peeple by the milliens, diseased, undernourished and expleit: ed, mill areund the ceumtry everywhere. Much has been written abeut their custems, meres, and religieus beliefs, by mere qualified men than myself, se I'll net venture inte detail in this regard. I am only thankful that we depart- ed frem the ceuntry befere centracting seme ferm ef deadly trepical disease. Befere returning te the States we will have circled the werld cevering more than 25,000 miles." Buck, I teo am serry that I didn't get a chance te visit with you when yeu were heme ena shert leave.

Armand L. Dixen, APO 247, San Francisce, says: "Things have quieted dewn considerably from what they were a few months age. The Jap planes have kept pretty clear ef these islands, se I dem't expect that we will be hampered by air raids. There are still a few snipers en the island, but they are being takem care ef very nicely by patrels. Befere leng they may be cleaned eut cempletely."

Frem geed ele “Pappy” Nesmith - "Semewhere in Italy. It is cleudy teday but I guess it is the first in a menth. The things yeu see here really epen yeur eyese People begging fer whatever yeu will give them. They are drivente it by hamgere Wemen werking in the fields and exen pulling plews and carts. Dirty, ragged, hungry little children playing in the streets and begging fer scraps te eat. The Red Cress is deing a fine jeb. My hat is eff te them. Basketball and baseball are the maim sperts.
