April 3, 1969. Camp Evans, Vietnam.
Hi beautiful,
We just broke for noon chow so I thought I’d write a few lines before I eat. Seems like it’s about the only time I can find during the day.
This morning they were dropping propaganda leaflets around the area and some blew into our area. I’ll send a few long for you to see. They call on the V.C. to defect and tell him how good they’ll be treated. They also make a mess for us to pick up
We spent all morning filling sandbags again, and probably will do the same this afternoon. I’m surprised I don’t dream about them at night. I probably would if I wasn’t always too tired to do any dreaming.
I’ve been trying to get over to the PX to get those pictures I took developed, but I just can’t make it. In fact, I haven’t been to the PX here at all. I guess it takes two weeks to be developed so it’ll be a while before you get any. I sent of some the slides for developing and the folks should get those a week or so after you get this probably.
Must go eat now. I love you Rita, and wish I had time to write you more than just a short note. And I’ll write you a long one as soon as I get a chance.
All my love,
Jeff

I love, “they also make a mess for us to clean up.”. That made me laugh out loud!
