Two days and nights of air raids have passed. There are a lot of people dead and a lot injured, and the guns are still shooting. A lot of Japanese planes have been shot down. I am getting awful tired for sleep, but if I can get a chance to kill a d— Jap, I don’t need any sleep. “Tell all my people and friends that I am doing my part and please don't any of you worry a bout me. “T will write you again soon if I am still living after we have run those Japs back where they belong. “It is getting dark now and we have to go out and clean up where the bombs fell last night. “Well, old boy, I have seen what war looks like and I don’t think I can say that I like it . . . not a bit! ‘Til close now hoping all of you are in good health and happy. May Gk)d be with you all and me too. You can answer if you like, but I might not get it.” Mrs. V. C. Morgan is spending tiie week in New York.
