Dear Solly & Tribe,                                                                     4 Jan, Sat.

Finally made it. I'm at a field Battery in Cu Chi. This is the Base Camp for 25th Infantry and I now wear the 25th Patch. Can you believe it? Me attached to an Infantry unit - Love it - my own Battery to take care of - my own little Aid Station my own man.

I'm rushed now so will write in next couple of days as I have much news. - One thing the 554th Engineers - another unit here at Cu Chi had their mess hall bobby ? trapped by 100 lb mine - killed 15 & wounded dozens - Ghastly - I saw the remains sick - Did it make papers at home?

Tell you more later - Write Soon

Randall 

PS  Couldn't get to a phone New Years.

See enclosed flick.

me one day I was leaving to ride shotgun on pictured jeep - Rode with Dr. out to Phu Loy - 1st Div HQ - Look like a real killer don't I?

Notice "Bush Hat". That's what we wear.

Also have opportunity to trade for or steal some camoflaged berets from Vietnamese Rangers - Would you like one? Would anyone else? Take orders & let me know.

FUCK CONFLICT (interpersonal & personal)

PS  Are you still giving my letters to everyone to read?
