Hello, Folks-
When I last wrote to you I was "in the dark" as to where I was going but we expected to move by boat. Originally our destination was to be the Pacific. That was changed with V-J rumors. We were pretty happy because we were going home. Then it came-orders from Gen. Eisenhower for our unit to report to Germany. We're now working for the Gen.'s headquarters. Right now we figure on wintering in Frankfort. My primary reason for writing was- n't to ask for sympathy but to give you my latest address. I look for- ward to those copies of the Jeep. The only change in address is the A.P.O. It's now 757. Thanks to all. Paul Tobin.
Hi, Paul! We're mighty glad to hear from you. We most sincerely hope "wintering in Frankfort" won't be too unpleasant. We promise you | the JEEP while you are there.

Dear Friends,-
I wish to thank all of you for the gift of the War Bond.
The Cochituate Jeep is a great paper. I look forward to the arrival of each new edition with the great- est of pleasure.
The manner in which the people of Cochituate have carried out their part in the drive toward victory has made me very proud of my home town.
Thanking you all again.
Your friend, Bill Hardy.
Thank you so much for your let- ter, Bill. We are all very glad you are the proud winner of a bond. We wish you the best of luck and do write again when you have the urge.
To quote from Carl Lindbohm's letter, "I want to thank everyone in Cochituate for the bond I have just won. I am now in Honolulu and what a wonderful place it is !"
We think it is mighty fine you've won a bond, Carl. We hope your good luck will continue.
Winston Williams address is- Winston Williams, SC 1/c, U.S.S. Hesperia, A.K.S. 13, c/o Fleet P. O., New York.
Billy Thomas thinks that the Jeep is the best service men's paper he has ever seen. It is something that will never be forgotten by the ser- vice men of Cochituate.
Ralph Lumley writes to us saying, "In the issue I received last, you told me to watch out for Billy O'Connell. Well, I guess you know what happened. I found him or I should say he found me from a let- ter I sent him from here. I got his address from Dayton Nelson who is in Iwo at the present time. Billy came up one afternoon as I was sit- ting at my teletype machine and banged me on the back. When I turned around I could hardly believe my eyes. I guess it's a small world, as they say. I don't expect to get home for a long time yet, so I hope you keep that tie between Cochitu- ate and us, 'The Jeep,' going strong for some time."
It is great to hear from you, Ralph. We certainly will do our best to keep the JEEP coming to you.
