(Letter from Vic to brother Rudy and wife Ann, written from the South Pacific to Passaic, New Jersey. The envelope shows it has twice passed U.S. army censors. Photo is of an unnamed man standing in front of a camp kitchen at Bougainville.)
Saturday afternoon,
Dear Ann and Rudy,
You aren't any too prompt to reply judging by the rate of your correspondence. The folks say they've only heard from you a couple of times since Xmas so how's about getting busy?
Am enclosing nine negatives. When you have some copies made will you please send a set home with the film?
Today we were issued our beer rations - eleven bottles per man, 10 cents apiece! Last time we had it was Xmas and the intervals between issues are usually rather long.
Some PX supplies are coming in now several wks. apart. We're back to garrison style - guard details, inspections, & training schedule. It's the old Army routine.
Incidentally, will you please let Ed and Rose have some prints made from these negatives? Heard you sent Paul some dough between you - well, it helps. Please write more often and at regular intervals.
Best regards,
Vic
