Dear Rich (Richard St. Onge? since it mentions "your Uncle Joe" -Ed)

I was talking yesterday to an old friend from the Antarctic who is now a doctor "Radiologist" He and I and your Uncle Joe were the best of friends. He was in 1939 -41 a member of the West Base Camp. He was also a dog driver. I told him Joe passed away and also told him of his diary. Dr. Richardson is not enjoying good health. He was the youngest member of the Expedition 20 years old. He became a doctor and served in the Navy on Operation Deep Freeze and also in Greenland before leaving the Navy and establishing a private practice

I was wondering, could you send him Joe's Diary to read he would really enjoy it. as I said he is not enjoying good health - his son is also a doctor - me Joe and Jack were the best of friends except he did not drink - so there you are. Hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

Say Hello to Helen, Ann and of course your mother.

ZIP Codes began on July 1, 1963, so this note is later than that.
