Richard writes how much he loves and misses Joyce. He writes that they are at the firebase (LZ) Hardtimes, and he recieved a letter from her and might get a package from his sister. They started for the base at 7 in the morning and arrived around 3 in the afternoon. He was so happy to have hot food. He asks Joyce to send him a photo of her and to make sure she pays for it out of the money he sent her. He writes that the 4th colored division is going home and he hopes he will be able to go home in April. He also writes he will send a clipping from Stars and Stripes on a soldier who was in Vietnam getting married over the phone.
