The money came just in time for the weekend. I had a date and spent my cash for things I needed from the PX & laundry. I am trying to write this in bed. I didn’t get in till [senially?] this morning, had trouble hitching back from L.A. and couldn’t get a bus (no room). I didn’t write last week because we were out in the field again. I met Dick Rugans niece Grace in L.A. She knows a tailor shop and I went in to get my Greens fixed. She said she went to school with dad and Aunt Becca and that she knew you too. I can’t remember what her last name was. She said tell everyone hello. She fixed my blouse free and said, “What’s a little nip among friends?” Ha. I spent the weekend at the girl’s house, the one who has the car. We went to the beach Sunday, more fried chicken, her folks sure are swell. Joe Parrish said Hello just now. Send some more stamps. I write Margaret every time I write you so I’m out of stamps. She sure is swell. Mother I’m going to have her to come up and see you. Well time for taps. Love to all, Joe PS Tell Sis I got the letter & cards.

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. Love, Joe PS each letter will contain a Marine Corps slang word and meaning.

Our show has been on tour for the last 10 days and I haven’t had much chance to write. All I can say about it is we went by plane.* The name of our show is Just 4 Fun, pretty good, yes? I can hardly write with this pen, it’s too big. We have been having a swell time and the show is a big success. I guess my mail is piled up but I haven’t time to write any one so it’s’ good I’m not getting it. I’m going to hit the sack now. Will write again when I get time.

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.

They were ok except for a small amount of mold on the cakes. 3. It took the air mail 8 days and one 7. I am on liberty today and using the good old U.S.O. You can only use one side of the paper so that’s why I only used one side—confusing isn’t it. I forgot to put that part from the paper in that letter and I can’t find it now. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get you anything you would like because some things you can’t send and if I don’t, you show those gabby women the first page of this and they will know I remembered Mother’s Day. I’m going to have the lady here at the U.S.O. to try and get me something for you till I see her again. If I do I’ll be able to send it if not—well. I have to go to camp now so bee good.
