Dear Donna,
I am sorry I have not written sooner but shipping nad all has been tough on me. I left Miss, Monday and got here Sunday. Went through Chicago couple not get off the train tho. It was a long trip and I sure was glad to get here. You can see the Rockies with the snow on the top also pipes. Peek which is very pretty. When the sun shines it is hot and cold as heck at night. The air is clear and you can see the exhaust from the plains at night,
II
giving out a blue plain it is really a sight. It is cloudy today and you can hear the thunder from the Rockies. I suppose it will come down here in an hour or so. They have more jet planes here than anythatcths all from see is the tail of them. I have not been to Denver but I plan to this weekend it is only 3 miles away 15 mins to get there. I guess I told you I have a very good friend who lives in Denver so I hope to have a swell time there. I will send you some cards from there when I get there. I sure wish you were here as I am sure you would like it. They keep us pretty busy here doing nothing. When I get back home if I get a Chance to see you I will tell you why they sent me here so fast all if
II
sudden. I never thought I would have enough name to shoot someone but it happens to the best of us., and since it was in the line of duty, It was all right. I still dream about it but it will soon wear off I hope. Well I suppose your folks are all firm and say hello to Mary for me. I will right again soon. Donna I guess you had better not write for a while till I get a permenant address.
Love Jim
