Somewhere in the Philippines
Saturday
Dear Paul,
Just a short line to let you know I'm OK so far. Thought my number was up more than once and had plenty of close ones. Quit hunting souvenirs but have some junk on hand that you might get a kick out of. Enclosed please find two five centavo notes, a one, a five, a ten, and a hundred peso note plus a negative of a deceased Nip.
The mail situation isn't so hot. Worse yet are our stationery supplies. Must resort to this cheap stuff 'cause there's nothing else available.
Please urge everyone you know to contribute substantially to the Philippine Relief 'cause these people really need & deserve all the help we can give them.
Best regards from your bother,
Vic
