Fourth Infantry Division APO San Francidco 96262 14 May 1969 The Sands Hotel Downtown Las Vegas Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Sirs, I am writing this letter for the men of E Company, 704th Maintenance Battalion, Fourth Infantry Division stationed Near Pletku, Viet Nam* I would like to ask a favor of you* I have heard that you have many used decks of playing cards, some only used a few times. It is usually very difficult for us to purchase playing cards here because of our location. The 180 men assigned to this company spend much of their free time playing cards, chess, checkers etc. as there is not much else to do for entertainment ?║f relaxation. I wonder if it is possible for you to send us some of these used playing cards. The men of this company certainly would appreciate your interest* Thank you very much for your time and trouble. Sincerely, Robert ?╜J^Meade Captain, U.S. Army
