A letter from T /Sgt. STEVE CYZYCKI who has been transferred to Hondo, Texas, after being at Courtland, Alabama, for many months.

"Well, here is one person I am afraid you won't be seeing as often as you did the past 4 years.

I am now stationed in a small place in southwestern Texas and to tell you the truth, I don't think much of it, or even the state. But it is one of those things where you can't get choice weather. You like it or otherwise.

I am now only a short distance from Victor (his brother), but when I look on a road map it looks like I would almost have to travel in circles to get there.

I haven't been to Mexico but I understand that I am not too far from there, so if I stay here very long, I will have to take a trip over there.
