Description

Caston is sorry to hear about the death of Maxton Brown. He thanks Lauren Post for the addresses of men "over here" and says he "will look them up." He emphasizes that he is in a bombardment not a fighter group but will not say that the mistaken address is "an insult 'cause we sure like it when they're along." He says it is "pretty quiet" where he is.
