Manila P.I.June 19, 1941

Dear Mother,

Well here I am back ant work again. Boy it sure does feel good. I just got out of the hospital day before yesterday. Am not busy right now so thought I would write again.

Am I writing often enough for you now? About four times a month. I can't think of much to write about except that I am well and happy. I will try to send you my pictures this month if I can. I am only drawing $30.00 a month right now and it don't go very far. Expect to make a rating(?) almost any time now.
