Hi Toots:

Sorry I haven’t written for the past week, but I have been in the hospital again with malaria.  As usual, it didn’t bother me very much.  I’m back to normal now, but a little weak.

As soon as I get a chance I’ll send home a couple of hundred.  Up here where I have to make trips and things I like to keep some on hand.

I am getting damned disgusted with the general set-up, but shall stick it out for a while.  Things are bound to be shuffled when Jerry folds up.

One of my radio ops from the 17th is here!  He recognized me and we had quite a gab session.  Johnny has been damn fine about coming to see me as have some other people not in the section. They are all out for throat cutting.  To hell with ‘em.

I love you, Cy.
