Rainbow Regiment, Guerrillas
Balayan, Batangas
Dear Colonel Cabarrubia:
I was glad to receive your letter of March 19th. As I mentioned to you in our conversation of a recent date, I am not concerned with what might have occurred in the past, but am interested only in what goes on at the present time. When one does his job in good faith and to the best of his ability, there should be no cause to worry about what his enemies might be saying to his back.
You and your men have done a grand job since becoming attached to my division. You have killed lots of Japs, and have been the source of such important intelligence information. Keep up the good work.
Major Schloth, the Officer in charge of Guerrilla activities of the division, advises me that your men have been paid and I assure you that as long as your good work continues, you and your men will be taken care of.
Sincerely,
(SGD.) J. M. SWING
Major General, U. S. Army
