Oran, Algeria

22 January 1953
"I received a letter from you today with the advertisement of the New CHEVY in it. I have it hanging up here in the office so that everybody can look at it. All the fellows are saying that I have to buy one now...I want to get the house first, then we can think about buying a new car. Well this is certainly some place. I have not gone ashore here as I don't really like the idea of having my throat cut for the few cents that I carry on me. Actually it isn't that bad but I have heard that the people over here don't look any too good..."
