much for The Posts I do get.
As ever, {
Chet Rusiloski,
B. M. 2/C
Somewhere in England.
® Thanks for a swell letter, Chet.
It’s almost too much to expect a
spavined old fellow like The Dallas
Post to keep up with an active
traveling man like yourself. How
do you fellows on ships get your
mail. I think the folks at home
would be = interested to know
whether it is brought to you by
other ships or whether you have
to wait until you are back in a
home port before you receive it.
The Back Mountain Region has real
reason ot be proud of the Rusiloski
boys and girls.—Editor.
Heavily Censored
Dear Howard:
It has been some time since I
have received a Post and it surely
was good to hear about the home
town, although it was a great
shock to hear about the three peo-
ple being killed in Dallas. I helped
build that bridge.
I have been in Gaudalcanal and
not comfortable. (About a para-
graph censored here) we have been
out here for ten months and no
hopes of coming home for the next
six. I haven't much to write, but
would like to say “hello” to Major
Camp, in Trucksville and I wish to
thank you for The Post, Howard,
and may it keep coming,
Very truly,
Ralph S. Parsons,
c/o Postmaster,
San Francisco,
Via V . . .— Mail
P. S. Excuse the writing. Condi-
tions here aren’t so good for writ-
ing letters.
® The censor certainly did a job
on your letter, Ralph. He smeared
India ink all over your longest
paragraph, Wish we could find a
way to get The Posts to you quick-
er each week. Good luck to you and
here’s hoping it won’t be those six
long months before you get nearer
home.—Editor.
