My Darling Girls,

I'm glad you've received the parcel at last. I was getting worried. There is one more on the way and I sent off a VERY dull one today with a sleeping bag and 2 cartons of cigarettes. The one on the way has a couple of minor goodies in it but not much. I'm glad you like the material. It's a locally made very heavy silk made by the hill people who are of basically THAI origin so this is a variant of THAI silk really. I liked it and I thought you might. I also hope Susanne got her telegram on her birthday. To the best of my knowledge all the coins are genuine sweetie. I'm glad the girls liked them. I'm glad the girls are doing so well with their reading and poems I'm looking forward to hearing them when I get home I'm glad I don't have to keep watching for the Red Baron any more my eyeballs were sunburnt like crazy and I do think 6 officers is a lot for SRAR to lose. As for chubby and the cigarettes If he really wants to pay and insists let him pay the $1.20 a carton and buy yourself or the sweeties some little treat with it. Its no bother to throw in 2 cartons each package and now that I know he enjoys them I'm delighted to do so. I sent off today a copy of a very good article in National Geographic on HUE, also the US paperwork on my award of the Silver Star. I'd prefer that to be restricted to yourself weenie and Mac at the moment little pet - I told Bag? you liked his little screen and he was very pleased. Capt DAO also gave me some special HANOI rice cake today as a big treat. I should send you some of that but you've been good so I won't - terribly sticky and sweet. Premier Ky was in town today and they had a big sports meeting and para drop at the stadium - been very quiet the last couple of nights but its full moon and the VC don't like it then. They will hit again from the 1 - 10 APR when there is very little moon. I hope you and the sweeties had a good little break over Easter my darling. Pity the new people next door are a bit rough but as you say OR's are often like that and can't make the jump up. Must close now I'm tired - just from the paper war ? - all the end of the month reports and Leo L Lackie is off in HANOI on R&R which doesn't help. Take very very good care of yourself my precious Neisi. You and those little Princesses mean more to me than I could ever hope to tell you. I love you so very much and we are really running now

I love you Petie
