Dear Mother and Dad,
Except for stating that I’m now in the Philippines, I can write nothing of my actions these last several months. Concerning the “main events”, the newspapers have probably given a more complete account than I could anyway.
It is quite hot, here -- and almost every day it rains one or more times. Unfortunately the flies, ants, mosquitoes and such are in great abundance.
Yesterday, we went to a small stream to bathe and wash our clothes -- it felt most wonderful. The natives have a system of beating their clothes against the rocks – which I attempted to imitate – and with some success.
Have enclosed an “equator certificate” (there’s quite a story behind its presentation); and some Japanese money that was printed for use in the Philippines.
Much love,
Franklin
