Dear Frances:

I think I promised you a letter, so here it is. It sure is hot this last couple of days isn’t it. We are almost cooking with these heavy clothes and equipment on.

We went on the scheme last night. We left barracks at seven, and by the time we marched out there, it was dark. Then we got in some time between eleven and twelve. Then I had a nice hot shower before I went to bed.

Dear Frank:

Just a few lines to let you know I am O.K. I was going to come down at 4 O’clock last night, but it snowed so hard that I thought I would put it off until some night during the week.

Dear Sister:

Just a few lines to let you know I am fine, I did one guard last night from midnight until 6:00 A.M. this morning but didn’t intend a go on another one until tomorrow night at 6:00 PM. It really is tough guarding. You are plowing in white clay up to your ankles all around the joint. This sure is a good place for a barracks it is just like a mansion (inside) alongside of ours in Windsor.

Dear La Verne:

I finally have settled myself enough to write to you, even though it is the first letter I have written in a long time.

Well I hope you are well. I am fine outside of the little touch of that hay fever which I get every year.
