My Darling Girls

I've just got back from DANANG we had a panic conference. I stay with [deleted] He's as obnoxious as ever. He's waiting for [deleted] girl to have her baby in 4 wks and then he's taking her over (like a handover of slaves - yetch.)

I hate Danang - dirty smelly - brothel town

It's nice to get back to HUE. It's clean and still Vietnamese not with everyone aping the Americans

I got an extra pair of jungle boots and trousers anyway. I've decided to hold back Kerry's watch from Christmas. I think she's getting enough and it would make it too hard to balance the presents - what if I buy Kerry a nice necklace and/or Brooch, the doll for Susie - from you - and I just don't know about the microscope for Kim. I've bought Kim a cheap but I think nice ($12) watch for her birthday. It the sort you can write off in a couple of years and knowing the luck of my pour little Kimmy. I don't want to give her a good one and have her heart broken if she breaks it - a little late perhaps. So at the moment, I have sent - PACKAGE 1 your present via Weenie. - Package 2 - a communal present for the girls PACKAGE 3, Radio for the girls, brooch for Weenie, Pens for the girls. PACK 4 - watch for Kim's Birthday. Package 5 (goes tomorrow is two cartons of cigs tobacco etc For Mac) Maybe I will send Kerrys watch - she did have the appendicitis - its just so hard trying to avoid poor old Susie and getting a good deal - advice please mummy!

I've got a sore foot at themoment - Just won't heal on a cut. No mail in while I've been away. The system here is chaotic to say the least.

I must close now my sweeties or I'll miss the mail. I'll write properly tonight

Just remember I love you so very very much
