Dear Mom + Dad,
This is going to be a
short letter because I have
to get ready to go out again.
I recieved all of your letters and
I guess that things are moving
along pretty good back home.
It looks like Marty is getting
to be like I was with the
guns. I also heard that you
have had some rain. Let me
tell you about the rain we
had. It rain real hard for
3 days without stopping. Along
with it came 75 MPH winds.
Believe me, everything got wet.
Even our tent had rain
forced through the seams.
Anyway what I need is a
good rain suit. When you
send the next package put a
"GOOD" rain suit in it. Also send
more salami, cheese and crackers.
I'm glad that you can buy
two cars with your discount.
It looks like I can buy a
Cougar when I get back. Well
I guess that is about all for
now. You can now put CPL
before my name and expect
bigger checks.
Your son,
Clyde
