Ismir, Turkey

16 November 1952
"Well I just received the package that you sent me. I have opened it up and found the Reader's Digest and the can of cookies. I have eaten two of the brownies and have given one away already...I was going ashore with a couple of other fellows and see a camel fight. But about the last minute I decided against it as I am one fellow in a million that don't drink or go into places that sell it and the other fellows...would undoubtedly be drinking during some part of the day."
Cookies similar to the type Ruth would bake.
