I would like to knw what you have heard. I haven't been able to keep up with the news so well since I got up home since I have been in the field most of the time. We got back on the port yesterday. We wish to thank you for being so nice to me when we were through. We enjoyed it so very much. I had to drink so of that good whiskey which I was in the field to warm the me and my sleeping bag up. But I still have two battle to keep for a special occasion. An I am so proud of my hat. I thought you were kiddng me at first about giving me a hat after seeing all the imporant people you have given them to. I hoipe sir that you are having from Amon Jr. regularly and tha tis he getting along as well as he was when I was with him. If you have tme, I would appreciate having what you know of the boys. Again I thank you so very much for everything. Sincerely yours, Lt. MJ Meadows
