Hi Donna,
Well I first recieved a letter from you sure was wuprriesed to hear from you and from the new odd O take it you haved moved glad to hear that, do you like it bettter than your other place, is it a hourse or an apt explain. This my surprise you but the mrs bought the mail to me this morning she asked me all abt you so I dug donw in my bag and showed her a picture of you and expained who you were and to my supprise she wasn't a bit mad, although I don't
2
see how she could be. Well you mentioned about me comming home soon. Well I won't be home until I mass now as I first completed a 38 day furlough in China, the mrs liked it but I don't care too much for china, I was there when I first came overseas for a few days. I like Japan much better of course now that I have a wife I can't fool around like I did the first time I came to Tokyo. We get along just fine tho suprising to me ha ha. Well I am going to the 5th Air Force now and go to Johnson field as an Inst. in Radar on a new set which I myself don't know too much about

but the army thinks I know more abt it than the civilians and teck Reps. You see I took an a Y.C.T. test and with the new radar test my score was 223% and the next biggest was 199% so guess I did OL woth the exception that I did not know waht the armny was up to, and they declared James P. Csey essireial for 6 mo over discharged date it seem is going to seem funny me just a PFC teaching officiers and all but for a EM I think I will make out OK accordingly to F.E.A.D the 5th cont under stand why I moved to Staff Sgt and they could have disclosed me essientially longer than 6 months and I don't think I would have liked that a bit
4
sosee adn I are so glad we did not. See is out of the nurse corps now and all she does is take care of one pocket now and she sure has her hands full when I get drunk and she tries to get me up at 6 a.m. I fast lay tehn and laugh and she gets so mad and then come the could matter you never saw me move so fast. Well Donna Joe I don't have an address as yet but I don't have an address as yet but I will sen you one soon as I get it now taht the mrs knows a little about you she doesn't mind in fact she is letting hear saying she never got long letters from me. How about Verne or Knwwy have you heard from any of them other than what you wrote in your letter.
5
Well how is your family and all how about your sister Mary is she now a murs working in the hospital or she going to be a private one just what is her " ". Well I guess I had better close for now. About the picture you ask for, well I could not send a wedding picture but I will enclose a small one that was taken on on Luam at the beach she will not miss it(I hope) Well I will close for now.
Love Jim Casey
