Dear Dribbles:
Received your beautiful birthday
card to-day and wish to thank you
very much for having remembered
me.
L know that it has been some
time since have written you, how
ever, 1 have you in my thoughts all
the time.
Everything is about the same
out here, but of course the war
keeps moving on. 1 don't know
that there is much that / can tell
you in the way of news that would
he interesting without it being con-
sidered under the heading of mil
itary information. Of course that's
out for now.
Even though I do not write fire.
quently, my wife has filled in from
time to time for me. l do not
know what 1 would do without her.
She has the thoughtfulness to do
the right thing at the right time
in so many instances. All the more
reason why l would like to get
this war over as quickly as posi-
bic, so that l can return to the
very best wife in all this world.
Well, 1 didn't mean to get so
personal. 1 hope you will forgive
me. I will be waiting for your
column in the next edition of The
Smyrna Times that reaches me.
Sincerely yours,
William @. Robinson, S. c. &c

It's been nice hearing directly
from you, Jack. And, as for the
getting personal part of it. no need
ito make an apology simply because
you are still head over heels in love
with your good wife. My friend,
this thing called "being in love" is
one of the best reaosns that know
of for continuing to live. There is
so much that you have to look for
ward to when this war is over
and you can take up your life to-
gether again. And from the tone
of the good lady's letters, would
give odds a hundred to one that
this grand and glorious feeling is
mutual. Under the conditions men
toned, sailor, you can sound of
just all you please.
Yes, and by the way, how is the
cooking coming along. Here yor
go and learn to throw "chow" to-
gether, and never mention wore
about your new culinary art.
Why so modest, Teller? Are vol
afraid to brag about it for feal
that you might be letting yourselt
in for something in after life
Well Perhaps you may have
something there at that. Ont
never can tell which way a cat will
jump if you pinch its tail. So t.
be on the safe side, suppose we put
the hush hush on that question
The next time you write in jus
sort of confidentially give me tn,
low down.
Yes, Jack" the war is surely
moving right along, both in tn
Pacific area, and over in Europe
Looks like the United Nations ma.
complete the job with Hitler
gangsters before Christmas, give
a bit of luck on the good isde. Ar
ter that, all our efforts will be GU
your way. What an array of ships
planes and men the Jap Rats Wi
have to face. Let us hope tina
Japan, as a nation, will neve
again be able to pull a sneak at
tack such as they did at Pear
Harbor. Before we are finished
this will be avenged over and owe
again. However, this will no
make up for the lives lost in tina
air assault, even though they pa
"a thousand to one.
Good luck to you sailor, an
may you have fair sailing fror
here on out. Drop us line wher
ever you have the opportunity
we're always glad to hear fror
you.
