Letter # 1

Somewhere in New Guinea December 1, 1944

Dear Mom,
As you can probably see I’m now in New Guinea. This is not my permanent address yet because we haven’t been assigned to a unit as yet.

We flew our own ship all the way across the ocean and I might add that we had a wonderful trip with no trouble whatever.

I’m not at liberty to disclose our stops on the way across but we crossed the equator three times and the international date line once.

If someone had told me a few years ago that I’d be where I am today I’d have told them they were crazy. So far we’ve see some of the most historic spots in the Pacific war.

One of the spots I hit yesterday is an island that Freddy Chait was on. In his next to last letter to me he told me that Manny Feigin is here where I am and I’m going to find out if he’s still here.

That’s about all for now so I’ll say goodbye

Love Avy
