One letter addressed to Joyce Robinson from Richard J. DiChristina dated July 8, 1969. He writes from his tent. It is "hot as hell" and 4:30 in the morning. He reports that his troop marched five miles to a site where they shot their guns. They expect to throw a grenade there on Friday. DiChristina sends photographs (not included) to Joyce asking her to pass one along to each his mother and sister Ruth. He tells Joyce to keep the best one for herself. DiChristina includes a price list and order form for wallet size photographs he has ordered as well. He closes with many more kisses and "good night Baby."
