Dear Sir:
Well, I have just received two
more issues of The Smyrna Times
and needless to say, was very
glad to get them.
Quite some time has elapsed
since last dropped you few lines.
Even SO, there is very little in the
way of news to pass along for your
column. Current rumors and pre-
dictions have us moving out of
here, for home or elsewhere, but so
far I have not seen anything that
would indicate this.
Back there in one of your col
umns, you stated that had not
seen a white woman for five
months. Well, now it has been in
creased to over nine months, I re-
greet to say.
The boys in our outfit are still
receiving some short wave broad
casts during the evenings. We also
hear some recordings of the LUX
Radio Hour Red Shelton pro-
grams" and few others. All this
helps to make our present manner
of living a little more interesting.
However, the best day of all still
continues to be the day that we re-
ceive our mail.
Now that "Old Man Winter" is
settling down upon you, we out
here are awaiting Summer. Of
course the temperature in our part
of the world does not change very
much. I hope not anyway, because
even our Winter here is quite
warm. While you folks are having
your football games, etc., we are
enjoying the sport of softball. We
have formed league among the
boys, and every once in awhile a
few games are played. This gives
most of us bit of recreation which
is certainly appreciated.
I am certainly glad to say, that
the most of the rumors that were
being circulated about the condi-
ton of my leg were definitely un-
true. At present, I am quite well
able to walk, even though it will be
some while longer before my leg is
as good as new. Well! 1 guess
that this will be about all for this
time except to say hello" to all
the fellows wherever they may be.
I want to wish each and every one
of them the very best of luck.
Since 1 do not know just when
you will receive this letter, 1 will
close by saying "a Merry Christmas
to ALL" And again to all,
Bye now,
Buckeye
