I do not (and probably never will) own MASH or any character from the T.V. show, Movie, or books. Now that that's over on with the story.
The Swamp was in it's usual shambles, Hawkeye and BJ just finishing off a martini when Radar came around with the mail.
"I have two for BJ, six for Charles, and two for Hawkeye." Radar put the letters for BJ down next to the still; and handed Hawkeye his.
"Thanks Radar." BJ said opening up a letter.
"Radar, I cannot express my gratitude for your quick and efficient delivery of my letters, I shutter to think what would happen to them if they were in less capable hands. Speak of the devil." Klinger came in with a smile.
"Cut that out." Radar said irritably. Hawkeye looked amused.
"Something bothering you Radar? "
"Yes, no, I don't know." Radar said exiting the tent.
"Sir, I just came to inform you that Dr. Freedman and the others will be here on Thursday night for the poker game." Klinger turned on heel and walked out the door.
Hawkeye looked back at BJ who was pouring over a letter from his wife, Peg, and small smile was set on his face. Charles was pouring over a letter from his sister. BJ finished his letter and put it under his pillow. "You're new nudist magazine came in I see." BJ said with a laugh, "What else did you get?" Hawkeye looked down at his letter.
"Hey would you look at this I got a letter from my niece. I wonder if she's a nurse now, she said she'd write when she's all through school." Hawkeye said looking at the return address on the letter.
"Well what does it say?" BJ asked putting down his letter second letter. "This one isn't interesting it's another one of those coupons for the stores back home. I wonder if they ship to Korea."
"Hey, not only is she a nurse, she's coming to Korea." Hawkeye said with a smile. "Family here, that's a very nice surprise."
"How do you know she's coming here?" BJ asked.
"Says here in the letter, Her mother, my cousin, can get what ever she wants, she can guilt anybody into anything..." Hawkeye set the letter down on the table.
"I thought you said she was your niece." BJ said. "Your not changing your story on me are you?"
"Well she's actually my second cousin but I call her my niece it sounds nicer."
"You two close?" BJ asked picking up the letter and scanning it.
"Close? Are you kidding I'm the brother she never had." He laughed to himself and then looked at the letter again. "She'll be in Seoul tomorrow, tells you how slow the mail is."
"I'm going to ask Potter if I can go down to Seoul tonight and get her." He jumped up from his chair.
"I thought she didn't get to Seoul until tomorrow." Charles said looking up from his third letter.
"I never pass up a chance to go to Seoul." Hawkeye grinned. His grin however quickly vanished when he heard Radar shout in the compound.
"Choppers."
