January 23rd, 1945 Philippines Islands
Dear Iz and Sil,
I can’t think of much to write at the moment, but I thought I’d better drop a line to let you know I’m O.K. I never realized before how terse and shallow news reports are. What they say is true enough, I suppose, but, oh, the human interest last is lost; the stories that are never told. But, perhaps, it is the wisest course in the long run. Much of what I have seen in the past couple of weeks is better left unsaid. I must ask you again, not to mention my where- abouts to anyone. I don’t want Mother or Dad to find out where I am, for you know how much they worry. It has been almost a month since I received any mail, and it will probably be another week or two before it comes through. Boy, I’m really sweating it out, too. Be seeing you,
Jan. 23rd, 1945
