Fort Leavenworth, Kansas

Will try and write my first Vmail letter. Write and tell me which letter you get first. The Vmail or the regular air mail. We have hit a port, seems sorta good to see a little land. Most of the soldiers here are Colored. Boy you should see my tan it really is a honey, it is equal to the California sun tan.

I have seen two shows here on the ship and hope to see some more they really are pretty good shows, one of they was “A Guy Named Joe.” I hope this letter does not get cut up, because I know a letter doesn’t make since [sic] if it is cut all to pieces. I have seen soom interesting things, wish you and Johnniecould have been alone [along], of course first on a trip. You would get a bang out of it, such as getting sea sick and etc., ha!
This salt water sure is hard to wash in and get clean. I done my laundry to night I hope they are clean, as they were hard as hell to clan. It is almost bed time so  will close.

Lots & Lots of Love,
Shorty
