"Hey Henry,

Got this tough case. He has a high fever, and a lot of abdominal pain. Which I guess is understandable considering I took enough fragments out of his belly to make a Buick. Anyway, I started him on Penicillin, Trap thinks it just a post operative infection, so lest hope that's all it is.

Things are slow other wise. Sure do miss you around here. Word is, we are getting a new CO around here. Which is an answer to prayer by the way, I think God knew I was one more inspection away from throwing old Ferret Face into a mine field...and feeling absolutely no remorse afterward.

Him and the Major and still playing doctor and nurse. Radar has started to play with his animals again. He walked around aimlessly for a little while but is just now starting to get back into the swing of things for good. Must have been all that money he won from us last week. By the way, he wrote to your wife and kids. It was a darling letter, special kid that Radar. Your wife did send back a picture of your little boy in the last mail call you got after you left. Radar keeps it in his desk drawer. Your boy is gonna be stunning Henry, I'm sorry you're going to miss him growing up.

Gosh, I hate this place. I shutter at the thought of how much longer I'll be here. I mean we had liver and onions four days in a row again. But, movie night is tonight. "Bonzo Goes to College" and "The Thing That Ate Brooklyn."... No, the John Wayne film still hasn't come in yet. But Radar keeps requisitioning it, just as if you were still here asking for it. Boy, that kid misses you. Sure wish you were still here Henry.

On that note, the movie is about to start. Gotta go pick up my date, before Klinger gets to her. Take care up there boss,

Your chief surgeon eternally, Hawkeye Pierce
