If his bombers can fly low enough for accurate bombing they are going to knock out all the batteries and then we will of course go. I am trying to get in some more A.A. Ammunition and if we do we can hold out as long as the chow lasts. I hope by then that some diversion will attract the Japs attention to another point. Tell all my friends that I am sticking here to the end and not pulling out as many generals have already done international his war. All of ours were captured on Bataan except George Moore, Beebe, Sharp (Mindanao), Chyneoweth (Cebu) and me. The first two are here with me. How!!
