Why don't we put it this way Dave you keep the letters coming and we will keep Japs going. How does that sound. oh yes Dave your letters are swell and I am sure that all of the boys and girls from Wash. really thankfull for them. Well thear isn't mutch to write about. I am in Burma and have been on the Burma Road - am part of the (marines?) [illegible] in 47th Inf. Tell every one hellow for me that the war is not over by a long ways.

I haven't met any body from home yet but have a darn good buddy from from Fairfield Iowa. Bob Crowe: Do you know him. Well I gess thats it for this time
