Wed night May 20 1953
Dear Folks
I am out in the field tonight. Just finished dinner. We are going on a night compass course. We went out last night on squad tactics. We got back to camp about and they gave us coffee and sandwiches. We fired recoilless rifles again and had a demonstration on the flame thrower. Tomorrow night we will be getting ready for bivouac Friday. Our company commander told us that we will be eating c rations 2 times a day and sleeping out in fox holes and on the ground. No tents. We will have to carry everything on our backs.
I really feel bad that I forgot Snapper’s birthday. Seems like it slipped up on me kind of fast. I was remembering it all the time up till the last 3 or 4 days. If you get him something I will buy it. I won’t be able to get anything for a couple of weeks.
Well I better close for now while I can. I’ll mail this tonight or in the morn. Whish I cold write you more . I don’t feel right unless I write you. I am going to carry some stationery on bivouac. I got your letters last night in the field. The pictures were good.
All my love, Ted
Tell Margie I won’t be able to write for a while.
Love, Ted
