Letter Home — 24 August 1971
24 Aug 71
Dear Mom,
Well, here I am again. I haven't been too busy lately so I have time to write more. But there isn't much to write about.
It's been pretty cool over here lately and it hasn't rained in the last 3 or 4 days. Hope you're having nice weather back home. It makes the days a little brighter.
I'm going to start sending my film to a different firm. It would cost about half as much to develop them there. The only trouble is they don't except COD's. Which means I'll have to get some money orders or if I can't get that, you'll have to send me some greenbacks. Maybe I can get the money orders if I go back to the rear (Bien Hoa).
Well's how's everybody back home. I haven't been getting too much mail lately. I get one from you about every three days tho. Mothers are about the only really consistent writers we fellows have over here. It's usually the first letter we read too.
Well it's getting too dark to write anymore
Love Marv
