can have it mailed to the same address that you mail my letters. My address has been changed to read twenty seventh regiment, fifth marine division, instead of twenty seventh marines. While I think of it, if you should see any newspaper articles later on mentioning the fifth division or twenty seventh regiment in action cut them out an save them with the rest of my clippings. I intend to make a scrapbook of them when I get back.

You told me in your last letter that Velma received my letter, tell her that I haven't received one from her yet, but expect to. With all the mountain climbing we have been doing I don't think I will have a suitable stomach to play Santa Clause to Judy when I get, anyway I hope that we don't stay over here that long. I imagine that by the time I get back that Judy will have changed quite a bit. You can tell Harry that he had better get plenty of practise hunting because when I get back he will have to be good to keep up with me. Also let me know when he catches a fish, everytime I get a letter from you he has gone fishing but I haven't heard of him
