Letters: July 21, 1951

        Came the curl, sweet girl, today. Just seven days from moving time and here I am, gazing at some red hair--which, in our dismal light, shines real nice. But how short did you have it cut? I still think you look good with long hair but then I haven’t seen you with short hair. Just took another look at the picture of you in a bathing suit (white) with long hair and you look terrific. Damn this Korea--I’ve been too far East too long.
        We’ve had wonderful weather for the last three days. It’s rained like mad. Haven’t moved from the sack except for meals and bridge. Won fourteen bucks playing bridge--also won a bottle of CC which I managed to get three drinks out of--small ones at that.
        Thanks for your telephone number and I’ll call when I go to Japan again. But where shall I call? And where do I continue to send the letters? I guess I had better keep on sending them to Pomona and I’ll be sure you’ll get them.
        I didn’t recognize the names of the guys you said you and Kiko met at the Hideout. Nice place, huh? I understand it’s fixed up too nice now and doesn’t have the charm of old.
        Have you heard anything about the Sullivans and how Kathleen is getting along? I believe she is in a sanitorium now.
        So Hon--okay and bye for now. Don’t work too hard on that salary you’re getting and my offer still stands. Write real often--please.
