I'm living with two other guys in a shackmade out of tar people, some half rotten siding,candboard to plug the holes. Plus there aren't enoughlatrines, we're on short rations, and people are startingto get dysentery. But, here's the good news! Remember the guide I toldyou about? The one who smuggles people into yourProtection Camp? Well, he agreed to take me in! Itwon't be cheap but who cares? Apparently, there's an old storm drain that can beaccessed from a nearby creek--and leads straight intothe camp. Once I'm inside I'll blend in, find you, andwe'll be together again! Don't tell anyone... Not even bobby. Take care hon,and I'll see you soon! Love, Bill
