The letter mentioned above, which Lindley wrote to his wife Loretta, dated Oct 31, stated:

"We moved down by the Cambodian border after all.
I don't know how often I will be able to write now.
Very little, probably.
So don't worry if you don't get much mail."

Another letter written by Lindley on November 4, the day before he was wounded, stated:

"We move forward everyday about 500-600 meters.
We clear an area and move to another.
This should be the last place we clear.
We should be going out on an operation before long."
