with ATC is flying in. Hope I will be able to get off. At the present time am an M.P. (Military Police) on guard duty. I work 2[?] hours and get off 4 hours. Have been on guard duty for two weeks. I do get one day off a week. This is a 24 hour job, day in and day out. Will be so happy when I am relieved of this duty. There is one thing you can say about the army you never know what you are going to do.
Am also enclosing a snapshot of Mother and Coleman Richardson who is a friend of the family. The picture was taken in front of my sister Louise’s house in Chicago. Will send you some snaps in my WAC uniforms.
What are you planning on doing now? I haven’t any post war plans as yet. Perhaps I will do a little traveling. Assure you NZ will be my first stop.
Was hopeful that you would be able to get to the States before returning to NZ.
