Later I joined the 13th Trs. Hq.
& M.P. & handled the fuel,
food & forage for the organization
Was mighty glad to get out, but
suffered severe financial losses
& mental depression

Well, Ed, I do not
know whether or not you will
ever get this so I will not
rave on. Remember that my
hopes are to return to Calif.
as soon as possible & to
stay there until I die. Please
keep in touch with me thru
my brother. And be sure
to go to see him.

Wishing you
good luck, health
& much success.

As Ever Yr. Pal
