Himalaya Mountains
August 16, 1944
Dearest Mom: 7 . ,
Here’s your long-lost little boy
again, and this time I’ll bet you
can’t guess from where I write—
Yep, way, way, way, high In the
Himalayas and I do mean high!,
Seemingly, the most Inaccessible
place on earth , and aboye. the cloud
line except on the fairest of days.
,We left camp Very early one
morning and never ceaSed travelling
for any great length of time. I be-
lieve I had told you that we were
permitted to say where we were
going and have told you that this
part of India was considered to be
the ujleaven.of Incjta" by the na-
«4iveA Well, truthfully, -it is jdst
that. We ran into portions of the
country very similar to Florida and
other portions similar to our great
agricultural Mid-West, very flat
plains but cultivated to a great ex-
tent by primitive methods. Pastures
beautiful and cattle, goat, camel,
water buffalo' etc. were in abund-
ance. Sheep were very plentiful too.
They seemed small in size but
quite wooly—white with a reddish
orange color on the top of the neck
and head. I don’t know that I’ve
mentioned it before but I believe
there are more birds t in India than
any place in the world and it is my
belief' that it is a religious custom
not to harm them. There are mil-
lions of pigeon, hawk, dove, spar-
row, crow, etc. Also paraquit and
other more gaudy colored birds.
Last night was spent in a Brit-
ish rest camp. We slept in the open
under a full moon rising above
small mountains, entertained by the
music of millions of crickets, and
the distant bum-ditty-bum of the
native drums far far in the distance.
We spent all of today riding in
British jeeps up and down and
das* matter March SSth. 1M9, at the Postofflcc at SUrttn,

ese. and American, all of which
were of the upper crust Indian
families from the larger cities were
quote colorful with their jewels nnd
the array of color within their dress.
All seemed to be enjoying them-.
selves, and apparently with little
or no thought of the war being held
in their minds. Yes, elevated eleven
thousand feet Into the skies I found
every form of luxury In life, being!
carried on with the greatest of ease.
Frankly, ,lt did feel good to get
Into such a human atmosphere add
here we remained for the night,
satisfied to an extent that there
were a few places on this great
earth where there was still peace
and quiet, as God had intended it
to be.
As the morning sun peeps above
a mountain in the distance, I sit
here and wonder, as a soldier,
amused to an extent, „and yet, more
frightened, by evidence that the
American people are being sold the
idea that a great hope for the post-
war has somehow in mysterious
and Intangible qualities which are
thought to have sprung up In the
fighting men, as it were, overnight.
Something is supposed to have hap-
pened in the thousands of fox-holes
all over the world, which, we are
told, will give us peace and pros-
perity when the war is won. Un-
fortunately it hasn’t. Yet, when it
does, it will take place, not only
on the field of battle, but on forms,
in factories and federal buildings
too. And it must happen. The need
is a change of heart. America will
need seine force to unite her. But
we cannot be that force, not as we
are. because we have no faith, no
' standards, no destiny. The sentl-
Inentalists say there are no atheists
in fox holes, but they are wrong.
We pray when we are afraid. After
that, we, forget God, and His laws...
It’s funny how the quietness of the
mountains will make one’s thoughts'
so clear toward the future.

Tlje trip back was just as exciting
ns going up—I've nTily begun to
write as I have lots to say ill the
course of the next few writings but,
I'm really weary for now- and the
trip was tiresome and a little on
thfe hazardous side of this particu-
lar day. So. ^ must get to tied now.
I’m glad to get away from the na-
tives for a few dwy's. You don't
know what .it is to direct and play
godfather to over a hundred dum-
mies trying to do an Important and
skilled task in the re-directlng of
the mails. More about such tomor-
■ row though.
Goodnight for now, Mom, and in
all that I see that is beautiful, in
i that do I always see you. All my
■ love, to the sweetest Mom in all
: the world.

INDEPENDENCE
The word independence is united to the ideas of dignity
and virtue; the word dependence, the the ideas of infer-
iority and corruption.

Let all your views in life be directed to a solid, however
me as you can't imagine the like
of It in such a setting, nor In such
mountain vastness or terrain. It’a
like a modern Shangri-La and al-
most or at least in the vicinity that
Shangri-La was supposed to be
found. Such is the only thing I’ve
seen that I didn’t expec^to see. The
huge mountains are breath-taking
—very similar to those of Virginia,
only those are most miniature in
comparison—possibly more, similar
to our Great Rocky Mountains of
Colorado or to Yosemite.
Today is another day— This
morning several of the boys and
myself hiked into the mountains,
made several pictures of each other
and then a few shots of the clouds
which drifted playfully about, sev-
eral hundred feet below. Words fail
me in trying to express the beauty,
of these floating clouds which not
only float under us, but gently
among us at times, and seemingly,
one would think he was in a smoke
screen at times as the views are
sometimes completely cut off. es-
pecially early in the morning, of
course this only lasts for a few
minutes .thought, at the most.

greeted with a most welcomed meal
