Dear Folks:
This letter is prompted by a very rare occasion and event that started last night and ended today. Yesterday afternoon in the office I received a phone call and upon answering it, about slid off my chair. It was Dick talking. He told me he had just arrived on the island and had tomorrow off so I made arrangements to see him. This morning I met him and even if our visit was short it was a good one. He wanted a big dinner so we got that and then I showed him some of the place where I live. He leaves tonight so we had only about a half a day together. Most of the afternoon we spent talking about Minatare and what it must be like back there now. I hope to see him again soon on a 5 day pass so I didn’t feel too tough about leaving him. Well, I’ll write more on this later. So long for tonight.
Love,
