Description

Chandler reports that he has been busy, but the main news is the fresh food in their diet, including "the first taste of fresh orange I've had in over eight months." The Japanese airplanes are receiving "a terrific pounding" by artillery every time they raid. He lost to Charles Ables at horseshoes. He would like to see "some football dope" in the Aztec News Letter, and news of the publication finances so they can "help when needed."
