CKorea, Mar 3/51 Dear Mias Stapleton,Thanks ever so much for thepapers which arrived today. Wedon't get any reading material except what is sent from home so you may tie sure that anything we do receive is passed around until it is too ragged to read any more. The weather has been extremely told this week, the temperature drops to about ten below' zero at nights. Our rations and water bottles are freezing all the time. The winter should be over shortly amithen w'e can get started thawing out. Our battalion is having a few days rest now, getting reorganized and licking our wounds. Our casualties have been very light so far, eleven killed and about twenty wounded, I only hope that an a-greement can be reached by thepoliticians before we lose too manyof our men.Thanks again for the papers. Give my regards to Miss Wilkins.I remaintruly WittmElmer Sinclair
