you and tell you how they are doing going to have to be patient fpr awhile kMom be cause they be coming home right away At least the way it looks right now Our boys have moved behind a natural barrier now to defend Taegu and Pusan and we hope this is as far back as they go Taegu and Pusan probably mean much to you but if you look at the map of Korea see how much they mean to Willie and Joe Only the sea lies behind Pusan If theycan just stay here a while they can build up their strength so they can go the other way the plan Mom but get too anxious for thenove because our boys still are badly outnumbered and our lines still are awfully thin But worry about Willie or Joe taking care of themselves either They are doing okay The food is pretty good most of the time Willie and Joe still complain about the cqoking and sometimes the rations up in the front lines get downright monotonous But going hungry Slowly but steadily other things are coming through now for Willie and Joe things
