The letter follows: "Dear Roy and Ethel: Well, here I am way out here somewhere in New Guinea, wishing that I were back in the States. Its not such a bad place though. Quite hot in the day time, but quite cool at night. These natives are sure some funny looking people. They go around almost naked, and are they filthy. I dont think they know what water is. They go without shoes. I guess the bottom of their feet would be like soles on shoes. "We got a fellow to climb a cocoanut tree and get us some cocoanuts. They can climb those trees like a cat. "Rex Lindsay (from Heber) and I tried to climb one, but we gave up after we rubbed all the hide off our shins, so now we just stay below and throw rocks at them. I havent been on any hikes yet I dont like the looks of the snakes they have here. They are about 14 to 16 feet Nice pets, huh?, so I long. dont think Ill go too far from camp. "I think I know now why It Is taking so long to take New Guinea from the Japs. The jungle Is so thick you would wonder how anything could go through , It. "Well, Roy, I hear that you are back in the hospital. I hope you are getting along ok, and that you soon will be out. I got the paper yesterday and did it look good, but I missed the Dear Doug1 column. Whats the matter? Dont tell me you have quit writing it. Well, tell Duchesne hello for me and take it easy yourself. Its about time for me to go to work so Ill sign off this time. As ever, George.

But we were well represented just the same. Ed and Vivian Wilkins came In with us, to drive the car and they took In everything for us, and from the glowing accounts, they really enjoyed It, and the rest of the bunch enjoyed having them along.
