These letters cover tax problems, Daisy's illness and death, and their desire to get some new clothes for Spring and Summer.

Bern gets a promotion, Blondie is dying and I think something is up with Peg. We lean some military terms I didn't know from M.A.S.H.!

Peg's new nickname is "Irish". She is happily back to work with the "Colonels". Marilyn and Joe make a big splash in Japan on their honeymoon and the weather is even colder, with snow.

They finally buy the camera. There is a snow storm and Ann comes back to reclaim her job from Peg- who now has a new nick-name!

Peg gets this really flattering letter from the boss she didn't like. The weather is bad and everyone is getting sick.

Bern and Peg open their Christmas Presents, they speak to their parents back home, and the "Embassy Dress" gets worn to a New Year's Eve Party!

I found a photo of Bern at the Wowona Tree. She is in white beside the driver. It is almost Christmas in Japan and most of the discussion in these letter revolve around the Holiday!

Bernice saved a couple of letters from her parents and also from my Mom. I will be reading these in the future where they fit in chronologically. These letters are from the summer they arrived in Japan.
