~ Guadalcanal sent me a
I - letter from his wife this
week. Another soldier, this one
now in Sicily, also sent me a let
ter from his wife.
The first man merely wrote
largely on the margin of the let
ter, ''My gosh, this is certainly
a swell rat-race to fight for!
The other soldiers note said:
"Of course everyone can't have
a wife like Margaret. But I'm
sending you a typical letter to
show you what we like to get,
out here in hell. cry over these,
and I don't care who knows it.
They arm me and my bomber.
They make me feel that If
I don't get back to her other fell
lows will get back to their homes
and kids, because of what I'm do
ing. They make all this worth

This is the first letter. The writer
is %; she was married year ago;
her husband was in America for
some months and had frequent home
leaves; he went away in January.
