My dear Mr. Anderson

Your "Hello Big Boy" in the July Vanity Fair got me into trouble. Here's how! Tactless scamp that I am, while visiting an A.E.F. friend, now a home sick Vice [Coisul] at Monte Video, we chauced on the daugerous subject of national pride. He asked me point blank, "aren't you proud you're an American?" My answer was, "Not so proud as I wish I could be."

Hell and Maria! People who have not studied logic are so apt to put the very worst interpretation on an un looked for answer. Traitor ashamed of his own birth-place! Ugh.
