*
November 1937*
*
City of Nanking*
*
I have been given command of the 51st battalion and the city of Nanking is before me.*
*
Today I will enter north of the city, take the vital rail yards and push to the center of the city.*
*
This will be the last I will write to you of the China Campaign, for my command and I are reassigned to the south pacific. Good bye cousin and may you seek honor*
*
Two infantry companies, a tank platoon, and artillery are in support.*
