Samar, Oct 14, 1945

...No the typhoon didn't get me. Boy I'm glad I wasn't on Okinawa. Seems they had quite a blow. Just my luck to have been there. I think we will miss the typhoons if one don't come soon. One thing I'll be home around Christmas time if some thing doesn't happen. So save me a few birds & rabbits to shoot at.
Mail is picking up now & am I glad, boy mail call helps out when a guy has nothing to do.
Did I tell you about getting the picture from my gal. Looks pretty nice but not too much like her.
Boy do I hate to write letters but just the opposite love to receive them. Isn't that strange? HA. Won't be flying much now. Most of our ships are gone. Flew a test hop 4 hr yesterday. I'm getting fed up with laying around & no kidding.
Well just got back from Guiuan. Bought a few souvenirs. Not much. Hot as whiz down here. Boy these towns really stink. Too many old fish laying around...
