English: "May 12, 1941
Dear Dad: Received your last letter some two weeks ago and as usual was very glad to hear from you. I believe I will start by a brief discussion of the mosquito situation, which at present is the most vital question in my present existence. We have had a good bit of rain for the past week and the damp weather has broken all bottle-necks of the mosquito production industry. The damned things come in swarms and what little spare time I have is spent under a net. I am trying to write this letter while lying flat on my stomach, which is little or no aid to my poor penmanship, and the constant drone of the diving mosquitos, as they try to pierce my meager defenses, detracts from a continuous trend of thought. The five or six million" From the Edward L. Parke Collection (COLL/5627) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
