Dear Ray,

Thanks for taking the time to speak with me on the phone. I mailed off a check and you should receive it in a few days. I'm sure my recruit is going to love reading your book. No doubt he will have a few hours to kill on the flight home from MCRD San Diego next month and your book will keep him good company. I will send you a few pictures from graduation!

Many thanks for your service to our country!

Kind regards,

Pappy

Looking forward to sending you a book, also
in seeing graduation pictures.

Thank you and your son for service to our great
country.

Gung Ho,

Ray

Well, Biscuits...Should have spotted this first and sent you the funds for two. That's alright, I'll just mail another out tomorrow.

Thanks for taking the time to put the book together and your service. Look forward to reading it as well as passing a copy to my Son.
