Bill was to mail this from Bangkok on Saturday but didn’t have time. He went over on Friday AM and got back to Rangoon about 2 Sat. Aft. so you know he was rushed! He had 2 real honest to goodness steaks with trimmings while there – one of the reasons one goes to Bangkok from here.

This is such a fun place. We are mesmerized by the river traffic in front of our hotel. My new suit is heavy black silk for winter, but not for your wedding! Wish you were here.

The Royal Barge Procession for the Royal Kathin Ceremony at Wat Arun, Bangkok. Thailand’s fabulous royal barges will form a stately procession to transport His Majesty the King to Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) where His Majesty will present saffron robes to the monastic community.

I hope Lori transmitted my telex message to you that I arrived ok on schedule.
We had our first meetings yesterday and will be in full swing today. This morning I slept until 5:30 so feel I am now back to a normal adjustment to jet lag. Team seems compatible. As usual at this point the task seems impossible to accomplish – but we’ll do it. It’s in the 90’s but not much rain – but humid.
Love, Bill

Sawatdee!
Having a marvelous time in Thailand. My friend has been here several times and makes an excellent guide. Toured temples today and an elephant ride. Will go to the Burmese border tomorrow and think of you.

Greetings to you on my birthday. We are at airport waiting for plane to Singapore. I have found Bangkok and the people to be great as I expected. See you next month.
