Dear Larry:

How are you doing? Fine I hope. By the news it doesn’t sound good in Vietnam. I sure hope and pray you are not in the middle of all that. We saw some pictures on T.V. of the fighting there and it makes me sick to think of our boys being in a place like that. Larry, I hope that you are real careful and not taking any chances. I sure will be relieved when you are out of that hole.

Dear Larry:

The mailman just went by and we got your 2 letters and Joanna got one also. As you know, we were very glad to hear from you, also the pictures, they are good, boy you sure have your head shaved off. They remind me of some of the pictures I have of Uncles Tom, Ray, Jack and Ed when they were in the service. I will be looking for the large picture of you in your dress greens. It sure makes me sick to think of you being away from home and I can’t wait till the 2 years are up. Are the fellows in the picture with you in the same outfit as you are? Are they your age? Have you run into anyone from Anderson yet?
