Philippines, Feb. 24th
Dear Iz and Sil,
I should make carbon copies of my letters. They’re all about the same as you have noticed. I told you we were given a rest. It is now a memory — one of the restful, quiet nights and not to busy days — a rare thing in the Philippines. I can tell you that I passed thru the “largest city in the Islands” — not exactly the healthiest thing to do at the time. It was a terrible sight — dead Japs lying all over the streets and pavements and among the ruins (They looked beautiful with holes in their heads and blood and oil all over their bodies) The sounds of sniper shots wasn’t exactly conducive to our enjoyment of the trip.
