Letter No. 1

Feb. 21, 1945
Dear Mom:
I have a little time this morning, so I'll try to write. I wrote a short letter to you and one to Freda yesterday. Its a beautiful day here -- very hot in the day -- cool at night. It's a much nicer country than New Guinea. There are people here too.
I am enclosing one dollar that we used in the [ ] and some Jap money. Freda should have coins for you too -- I hope! Wish I could send you some of our coconuts, sure is lots of them here. But alas! I don't care much for them nor their milk. Not much else I can tell you. I sure would like to get some mail. I am fine — hope you are too.
Love
Fred
