Dear "Doc"

There is quite a difference

in being a buck private and

then getting up in the world

when you get saluted instead

of being the saluter. This is

a very nice post and I can't

get over how lucky I was to

be stationed here. Wish you could

see the place. Give your better

half my regards and also

your youngest daughter.

The calm beauty of Rainbow Falls, changes

quickly after long or hard rains to a thrilling

and awe-inspiring spectacle as the larger volume

of water makes the plunge of eighty-five feet.

Dear Estelle

Just a line to let

you know I haven't

forgotten you - just

been pretty busy

sewing, cleaning house

ect. Rather chilly here

today. I'm going down

town to do a little shopping

Always, Robbin
