JACK LAMIE WRITES FROM KOREA Inch'on, Korea, 10 October 45 Dear Mr. Mangham: Greetings; A lot of water (mostly salt) has passed under the bridge since the last time that I wrote you, and though I cannot hope to cover the time that has elapsed between then and now, I would like to pass along a few lines to you and to our many mutual friends back in good old Rayville. You may be sure that all of the officers and men, and women, out here and elsewhere, are proud and happy as well as relieved, that the war is over and the peace well on its way toward being won also. We here have a job to do, and like everyone else, are doing it as best we can and as fast as it can possibly be done. Our "mission" now is to get home again once more to remain like in days of old.

That is the one big thing that everyone "highpointers and lowpointers" have right square in the middle of their minds these days and our one remaining big objective. At present I am in Korea, and those of us here, even though we haven't been here very long at this writing, and in spite of adverse conditions and lengthy supply lines, are getting along splendidly, and have made real friends out of the Korean people, which is more than the Japanese were able to do in over thirty years. Our job, in a few words, is to set the Korean people back on their feet and gradually rid them of the remaining Japs by a systematic shipment of back to their home country, where the whole world now knows that they belong, and when the Koreans feel able to govern themselves and a normal and improved peacetime industry and agriculture and general way of life is once again put into motion, with the Koreans themselves at the helm, we politely "take off" for home waters and all we have longed for and talked about for so many long months. Home! Hallelujah! Some seem to think it will take months for the discharged servicemen to readjust to civilian life. The majority of us think differently though for one, think it will take me about fifteen minutes, or less.

Right now our hours are long and our duties heavy, so that spare time is 1a" real oddity and an outstanding personal problem and because of this I haven't yet been able to actually see much of this country, and by the same token, haven't a lot to write about at this time by way of trying to picture the country to you as it really is, nor the time in which to do so. It is hoped, however, that I will be able to send you a "bit" about Korea and her people that I believe most of you will find interesting and perhaps amusing. Hope to be able to send along another letter in a month or thereabouts, at which time I'll attempt to "Koreanize" you. The weather here is crisp and cool, just like it is there this time of year, and I like it much better than Okinawa I found it rather hot there sizzling is the Of course, after a time, we will get situated and things will be much better all the way around than at the present time. I hope that by the time the old Easter rabbit hops around again, that most of us here will be on our way home.

Just about "fishing time." Here's to a bigger and better Rayville, though the one I left is going to look like heaven to me. Want you to know that I really do enjoy the Beacon as always it is just like a three-day pass.
