(V-mail from Vic to younger brother Paul, sent from Bougainville, Solomon Islands to Berkeley, California. Picture is of soldier, W.J. McGuirk.)

Sunday,

Dear Paul,

Thanks for the letter and snap-shots. Haven't received the books you mentioned sending. Can't think of any books or articles I like sent at this time.

When next you see Ted tell him to write me and tell him that a few gals back home have been inquiring as to his whereabouts. Who's the gal on the picture with you? See that you're getting around somewhat these days. That's something we'd like to do - take it easy, but still take it.

I've been registered for the elections at home thru the folks. Are you voting out there in the national? Still awaiting word from Horlick High regarding credit situation before signing up for A.F.I. Will write again soon.

Your brother,
Vic
