Excerpts from Recent Letters
John Cambell writes: “Still no word from my draft board, so I have been spending the summer working here in Wisconsin, and talking Black Mountain to a good many people. As most of the employees here are college students I have found many interested listeners….. Last month I ran into Patsy Lynch and had a long talk about B.M.C. with her…”
Lieutenant Bela Martin is back from Guadalcanal. He writes: “Getting home again has come…. Just as I thought for sure we were going to dig in again after a weeks rest from the battle area. I’ve been on duty with a fighter squadron… and feeling mighty lucky at having survived all engagements with only a scratch on the shin…. Just what my new orders will be I have yet to find out. The Navy, I’m sure, will have no trouble deciding, but I do expect to get about thirty days leave to see what civilian looks like…..”

Harold Raymond writes from Bradley Field: “I have been transferred again to another battalion…. What in the world I’m supposed to do here I don’t know, as most of the men here have been in the army about ten days. I hate to think of taking basic training all over again..”
