      Oct. 22, 1945

Irumagawa, Honshu, Japan.

Hello Ma:

      Last night, 1,500 boys left for the U.S. All had above 85 points, however. I will have to wait my turn, as I only have 82. I hope to be on my way sometime soon, however. This week maybe.

      Enclosed is some Japanese money for souvenirs.

      All for now -

Earl
