April 10, 1944 Monday

Dear Hon,

Well, here’s a minute to say I love you in. We toured over the greater part of Kentucky this morning and afternoon on a reconnaissance problem. In armored cars and peeps. Kentucky has some very nice countryside. We rode along and waved at pickaninnies between plotting our map position and using the radio. Finally ran into the enemy and got ambushed, but they gave us another chance and we weren’t fooled the next time.

Tonite we are going out on night scouting and patrolling. It is already raining guns so I anticipate a good time! After a while, you get rather a kick out of being uncomfortable. Pleasantly miserable, you know.

Bye now, dear, I love you always,
All yours,
Wallace
