Owings / I regret I've been so long in returning the photos as I promised - But, better late than never. As the old saying goes - Please see that the Boys get these - And tell them I really enjoyed my short stay with them and hope I can do it again some time. Thanks for other photo you sent me. With kindest regards...Bill Robinson''. Includes typed military memo from the 372nd Infantry in Fort Dix, New Jersey. Letter measures 7.5'' x 10''. Staple marks and light creasing. Very good.
