[partial letter]Be weeks sometimes.You should see my head. I can’t say hair as I haven’t any. It had to get gut off for shipment. If you’d see me you would believe in evolution.This will be the last I’ll write for a few days I know. I sent cards to everyone with my APO address. I don’t know when the gov’t will mail them to you.All my love & kindness HaroldIn my suitcase I put an AGF insignia for a souvenir. That is the new insignia. I’ll still get my divisional one to wear.Do you want a grass skirt? I might even pick one of those up. I mean just the skirt.
