Letter from from an American soilder in Vietnam

My dearest Lucy,
I know you want to hear whats going on and all the good stuff exclusively there is sadly not precise more I can tell you. What there is to tell isnt very pretty, I wrote to you some weeks ago and truthfully nothing has changed.Recently, we pay off been training with choppers for about a week.
