David R. Elder correspondence, February-March 1945

1945-02-23 Pvt. Don Minick to Dave Elder

(Feb 23, 1945)
Hiya Dave:
Rec'd 46th drip on 21st of Feb. Not sure but I think one or two are still bouncing around some place. Another change of address. Dave, as you can see by return address on top of letter. No news of importance and things running right on schedule. Beautiful place these Hawaiian Islands and the weather is really out of this world. Nice and warm with the sun out every day. Still haven't met anyone from home but I see by latest "Scuttlebutt" that one of the Ross boys is over here and I am going to try and look him up on my next day off.
Want you to know Dave that Scuttlebutt is sure appreciated - so please keep it coming. Keeps me fairly well posted on just where a lot of the boys are these days and they are really scattered hey Dave? Sorry about your nose-dive in front of the P.O. better watch that Dave. Bye for this time - note change of address.
As Ever - Don
