Aboad the USNS Meigs-part 7

almost there........
....continued from August 26, 1953

This afternoon I went to the Sea Store and bought a box of cheese-it the had pecan rolls there, so I bought one of those.  A big roll for 30 cents. They are not as good as the ones you use to get though.

Before we get off the ship we have to change our money to script.  We can't use US money there.  We can only use script in army PX etc. not in town.  I only have 4 or 5 dollars to change.  I would like to keep about 2 or 3 dollars.  They say US money is worth quite a bit in Japan.  I may have you send me some in the mail.  Well I think our compartment plays bingo tonight.  Think I'll go play.
