Cpl Milo W. Steele Jr. USMC 3rd Band Section Div Hqs 3rd Marine Div, FMF %Fleet P.O. San Francisco, Calif Aug 18, 1944 Guam Dear Dave, Eugene Dunlap has been sending me a few of the Scuttlebutt's & I get quit a kick out of them. It's nice to hear about some of the guys I use to go to school with & play ball with back home. Doubt if you remember me to well because it's been close to 4 yrs since I was around Washington much. The latest Scuttlebutt I got from Gene was July 14th. I read about Carl Friedrich getting back. Your magazine or paper don't mention a heck of a lot about the Marines but I guess there are around 8 or 10 of us. We are out now!!! Saw Willis Booth, about a mo ago & he was same old Willie. Well I'm on Guam & things are secured. So am getting back to band duties I'm playing a sousaphone & have been in band for about a year. Previous to that I was in a line co. packing a BRC for about 10 mos. Enjoy the band & I hope the Municipal band back home is still going. Might send the Scuttlebutt if you have got extra. Tell any the guys you see hello. Sincerely yours Milo Steele
