block the harbor after they saw no
way of escape, but they didn't do so
hot at blocking it although they did
blow up most of the pier and build
ings.
I wish I could tell you the name
i of this place. Perhaps you have read i ■
in the paper a lot about that Jap t
I
convoy that was sunk in the har
bor of the Philippines. There were
sure some beautiful buildings here
that are just a mass of crumbling
stone now. There are still a few
nice drug stores.
Our convoy was seven days com
ing to this island (just another of
the Philippines). I stood my first
“watch" at the wheel. I like it fine,
a P. T. Tug is easy to drive once you
catch on. They still have cars here.
Occasionally you see a native driv
ing a brand new car. but most of
them are below a 1940 model.
I have been directly to General
Me Arthur's headquarters. You
know I always liked him. Some of
the boys in my company talked with
him, but I didn't. Guess I was al
ways a little bashful when it comes
to talking with a four star general.

I haven't heard from you la
about three weeks. We won't get any
mail until we get back. Nor can we
hear any of the good news as we
are not allowed to use the radio on
trips. Hope I have a lot of mall
when we get back to the other
island.
Don't worry about me, Mother. I
am getting on fine. Plenty good food
to eat and you know how I am as
long as I can get plenty to eat. rt
may not always be cream and
peaches but our government is do
ing the best possible for us. I never
felt better in my life, but I am as
brown as the natives. You and
Daddy stop working so hard as there
is no need of it”.
Note: Pvt. Rudder was in the 800
ship convoy that went to the Phil
ippines last fall for the invasion.
