I am sorry, Mr. Smith, for not answering [your last letter sooner, but I can truthfully say that I have been one busy Marine and will try to answer sooner next time, if possible.!

I thought they werej very interesting ~ even i though I could not^read them. If i [you will ask Jimmie to bring themup to school you cin observe for yourself.Well,' guess I had better close for now. I have a big’ Say ahead tomorrow. War is just like it was in football, a lot of practice and then the day before the game, only in our last operation we had the ball all the-way, and there are no fujh-bles allowed in this ball game, for it' might mean one or several hundred lives., So, until we carry the ball over their goal line, which is In the heart of Tokyo, and kick the free point, will stay til! the whistle blows, and I know we will be on top.Will close for now, Mr. Smith, hoping to hear fromVyou soon.Yours truly, Johnnie!
