Full Text	[corresponds to page 1 of Walt Hefner to Glenn Hefner, February 10, 1952] APO 970 10 Feb 52 Dear brother Glenn, Im sorry that I haven't written you before this, it seems as though I just cant find words and time. How are you? How do you like the army? Don't think much of it, do you? Well I don't blame you but I think you've got enough sense to make the best of things even though there are some things you don't like to do. I know they'll be a lot of things you won't like, but pay attention to whats going on and you'll learn a lot about life and never will regret having to go through what you are going
