Of Navy Rest Camps
In Japanese Areas

fliers in the Pacific is told by Genei
Perry in a letter to his father, J. P.
Perry, of Hertford. The letter, written i
April 20, was received by Mr. Perry
a few days ago and states:
"We are heading in toward Yokuska,
Japan, for the first chance at liberty
that we've had since leaving Pearl
Harbor. That's over a month now.
I have been aboard this ship, without
leaving it since- we left San Diego.
That's over a month and a half. Pretty
long time to spend in a space as small
as this. Yet there is everything here
aboard that you could find in a town,
almost. At afiy rate it will feel good
to get ashore for a little while and
feel normal again if that's possible
over here in Japan. Even ashore there
are a great deal of restrictions that
we are subjected to in our actions and
where we go, wherewe-nay eat' and
our attitude and actions toward the
There are areas and places
designated as rest camps where we
may go for a three-day period. These
places have everything from swim

food like you find in the States. You

as what you want to do.
"It will be good not to have to work
so hard every day. We will probably
stay in port for ten days. Makes a
nice vacation for us. Mail hasn'
come aboard ship for a long time.
Guess when we get in port we will
get quite a bit of it."
