I didn’t get to town to get any Easter cards, but I think you are like me and would rather have a letter. When I did get the chance to get the cards they would have been too late so here is a letter better late than never. I have been waiting for you to write and say you heard from me before I answered but I think it takes too long that way so I’ll write oftener. I am in a divisional show that is touring the Island, I’ll enclose what the paper says about our show. (I sing in the group of five mentioned. About that book I think they were putting some things in it about our invasion of Namur, so I guess you will get it sometime. I’m ok. Just remember as long as you hear from me I’m ok because if anything happened you would be the first to know. I have been hearing from Margaret quite often. I received three letters and a picture in four days, not bad. I haven’t heard from Leila in about two weeks. Well so long for now.

The island we were on “Namur” is part of the Kwajalein Atoll and we had the hardest time of them all. It was pretty hard and we sure killed Hells [Hills?] of Japs. I’m not sure I killed any but I surely shot at plenty and I’m sure sorry if I missed. I saw Uncle Alva’s son Edgar Myner and he is safe. Joe and all the guys say Hello. I can’t say very much except I’m safe and far from the fighting. I got a buck from Aunt Corda and heard from my woman. Ha. Tell everyone hello and send the box and a cheap fountain pen.

Text Any textual data included in the document Envelope: Mrs. D.D. Hines Toms Brook Virginia Letter: Dear Family, Here it is Sunday but just a working day for me. We came off of maneuvers Tuesday and went on a 72 hr. leave Wed. I didn’t send a wire because I knew it would disappoint you if I sent a wire because you would think I was coming. Well they are still canceled. I think we will get them after amphibious training. I’m getting along better since I got my stripe. I’m chief scout in charge of two men in my squad. They gave our platoon a new Louie and he was the best ever, but he was in an accident and had to have his arm amputated, so we got another today, a good guy (2nd Louie) by the name of “Reonalds” (spelled same as “Davis” Reonalds Ha). Mother I know “Margie” is young and expect her to go out and if she don’t wait for me I’ll understand but up till now she is tops. I haven’t found anything out here to equal her. Maybe I’m growing up. I’m almost 20 you know. I am beginning to feel proud of my outfit and myself. We made 30 miles in 9 hrs. carrying 60lbs and a rifle, and I’m bragging now, we only lost 30 men out of our Bn. And the third lost 200 in 10 1/2 hrs. Boy, were we dead. Boy what a liberty we pitched. Joe and [I] met about 10 girls. Two of them, the best in the bunch, took us home and we had a nice dinner and a lot of fun buying and fixing it. Joe and I washed all the dishes. Joe (Joe Parrish) is sure some wolf and a swell guy. We usually swap girls every time for some reason. Both of these [girls] were named Helen so we just stayed as we were. We went back Sat. morning and passed notes under the door till they got dressed and let us in. It was fun but the neighbors thought we had gotten fresh with the girls and that they were trying to keep us out and [the neighbors] were going to call a cop. Boy did they let us in quick then. Some people always have one foot in the gutter. I have been going to church regular and had communion the 5th in the field. Well gotta go hit the sack.
