14 sausage and one lovely fresh egg at least they said it was fresh, anyway it tasted good because it's been quite sometime since I've I seen one. , I have been trying to get some snapshots of the natives but they are crafty devils and it always costs you a few cigarettes or some gum. Bob P.F.C. Herbert Silander 4th Marine Division Dear Mother, we know where we are going already and by the time you receive this letter, you'll have read in the paper or heard on the radio about the Marine's nSocial Callu on our little brown friends. The Nips probably won't be any too pleased to see the Marines landing on their property but before we finish, they will be bowing low and grinning at us with their famous nPepsodent smiles of beauty.H when I get back home, mother, I'll spend 30 days just stuff ing up on your delicious home cooking, mainly home-made bread, rolls, donuts, and fried chicken. I'll spend H260 hours a day, eating and the rest of the time I'l1 spend sleeping on a soft feather bed. Love, Herby , P.F.C. Sulo Silander Dearest Mother, It is about eight o'clock at night that I'm writing this. Just sitting around and listening to the radio. As usual there isn't much to write about, so I guess I'll have to limit the letter for A lack of gossip. It seems good to have still quite a few of the boys from around Keene, though they are gradually thinning out. These damn Japs have sure messed up a lot of lives, but deep in my heart, I have the satisfaction that I made them pay the price everytime I had a chance to, and I hope to get some more cracks at them. with love Sulo V, Taimi Koski CArmy Nurse! England Hello Folks, Here it's just like a spring day. There's a nip in the air and the fog d1dn't lift until about eleven when the sun begins to shine but it looks beautiful from the inside. I'm very comfortable in the tent. It sounds pretty bad, living in a tent in the winter time -- but it isn't and you can get used to anything. I like it much better than living in the huts as last winter. we've been thinking seriously of remodeling it. They are going to put white beaver board around the sides and when that happens, the other girls and I thought we ought to do something about the floor. As it is now,it gives off this powdery dust and you just can't keep it clean. So we came to the conclusion that a red paint job on it would certainly improve the appearance and keep down the dust. Love, Taimi
