like because it's so hot and dry here
on the island nothing grows very
much.
The oil company has these big two
story buildings (or the single men of
the company to stay In but they are
vacant now as most of their men are
in the army. The rooms we had were
far nicer than any we could have got
ten in town and they didn't cost us
one cent.
There are about six hundred Amer
ican families over there and they have
ell anyone could a for right there in
the camp. I have never seen such
nice homes all in a big coconut groves
with every kind of tropical flower.
It's really the most beautiful place I
have ever seen.
Since Venzeula isn't in the war
nothing is rationed there. We used
these big juicy steaks for fish bait. J.
T. and I were too busy with the girls
to be very good fishermen. You can
Teadily understand what it meant to
us oeing with American girls since we
haven't seen one for nearly 18 months.
Words just can't express what our
trip over there has meant to us be
cause these people are all for our boys Carolina feed manufacturers
and they just can't seem to do enough
for us.
I haven't told you half of all we
did because we did so much I can't re
member all of it. Leaving there was
just like leaving home. I think ev
erybody hated to see us leave as much
as we hated to go.
We came back by plane and stopped
at Aruba for a short while.
Nothing takes the place of home, of
course, but we did have more fun
there than we could have had at home
because at home everybody is in an
all out war effort. My trip cost me
dollars and I think it was well worth
twice that amount This is about all
I have time to write about at present.
Write soon. Love, Jim.
