Mr. Dave Elder Washington, Iowa Sender: Sgt. Milo [lo] Steele Sr. USMC 3rd Band Section Div Hqs 3rd Marine Div. FmF San Francisco, Calif. Nov. 6, 1944 Dear Dave, Received 31st drip today & was sure glad to get it. Thanks for it. I see that your having competition with the chicken business. Ha. Tell Milo Sorden, I said to watch his friends they're robbing his ole hens blind. Well the band is doing ok & we're still getting beer. I'm sure you must be short on it back in the states. A case of it out here is worth a lot of money. Haven't seen "Chuck" Holden for couple wks, but next wk. I think I'll try & get down & see him. Be good Dave & keep the Scuttlebutt coming. Sincerely yours, Milo.
