Dear Miss Thompson:

You can imagine my surprise upon receiving
gThe Service Mens News
h in this God forsaken spot. Congratulations to Miss Vaughn-Eames please. She evidently is doing a swell job, and that goes for you too
gAunt Nancy
h. Say hello to Miss Lipson for me. Too bad I
fm not around to start a little argument. Ole Jap Pluvius reigns supreme here. The newspaper is a splendid idea and I
fm all for it. Certainly looking forward to the next issue. I
fm in a heavy maintenance outfit, tanks mostly. One of the many duties is censoring. Have seen many Japs, but none enemies. When we do encounter them you can be sure I
fll send you a stuffed Jap
fs skull for the Library show case. Hope you have received my Christmas greetings, if not let me extend to you now the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of New-Years.

As ever,

Vinnie
