Richard writes to Joyce how much he loves and misses her. He mentions that they will be supplied and he will be able to send a bunch of letters he had written her and other family members. He writes they are leaving for the landing zone (LZ) in about an hour so it will be a short letter. Richard says they have to walk for 1000 meters and they will stop for the night and mentions that this morning's breakfast is a pork slice, and pound cake.
