Summary: | In the letter Frank describes the combat he has seen, including an attack by "suicide Jap plans" not long after his unit landed in the Philippines. He then discusses his efforts to provide recreation for his fellow soldiers: "I am glad I am here, you have no idea HOW the boys need Special Service, and I am giving them all I have got, and then some. Improvise is all we can do, and I have fifteen Filippino [sic] carpenters who helped me with the Rec. Hall, a P.X. with only soaps and toilet articles for sale. I also had a Library, reading, and writing room built which will accommodate forty boys at huge bamboo tables. They like it."
