Billy's letters to Mary in March begin on the 21st and their correspondence seems to be blossoming beyond mere writing into a relationship.
#5 (March 21st 1953) He describes the scene as he is writing his letter, saying 'I have my radio on and they are playing some jump music. Of all the Boogies I like Les Paul's "Mammy's Boogie".' Ever expanding his explanation of down-time activities to Mary, Billy states 'Tonight and tomorrow me and a couple of other guys are going to the Roller Derby. I haven't seen one in a long time; usually the people in the Derby get pretty rough on the floor.'

Here is the song (Les Paul's "Mammy's Boogie") that Billy referenced in his letter:
Billy's next letter was focused on the prospect of meeting Mary face-to-face. They seem to be getting on so well in their epistles that Billy is keen to take things to the next level and meet up ... despite his self-deprecating comments and compliments.
#6 (March 26th & 27th 1953) He begins with 'Just a few lines to let you know what a wonderful girl you must be, writing to some jug head like me.' Soliciting sympathy for a Sailor's lot, he asks 'In June, when are you on vacation? Think of me, for I'll be in Cuba from 12th of June until 25th of July.' Concluding on their clear compatibility, he writes 'Reading your letters, seems like we have known each other for a long time. I now have something to look forward to when I can get leave; meeting and getting to know you.'
