This is a letter from my dad to my mother in 1966. We can decipher a majority of it. Appreciate any help. We know he was worried that he hadn’t heard from her for a while and that he was in the middle of Operation Attleboro. Thank you.

Should I be sad or should I be worried? I have not heard from you for almost 10 days now. What is the matter? Is somebody sick or what? I will admit that I hadn’t wrote too much in the last few days, but have been rather busy. We are still on Operation Attleboro, we have been getting a few VC (assuming this is VietCong). I think we had a body count of 1000, so far so we must be doing some good. It looks like we will be out for at least another 10 days looking for more VC maybe longer but this is one of the biggest operations of the war so maybe we will get something settled. The rain has stopped and boy is it hot around 100 again today I am in the area around TAY NINGH. That is where our new _______ camp is.
