- \ ' Received my'February issue of the H. R. yesterday and
V \\ was really glad to get it. I had been looking anxiously
^ \ every mrdl call for it. At last it eau^t up with me hero
"'j \ at Co, Four.
' I have read every page and it really makes me feel
I good to get some news from home. But every time I think
I'll have time to re-read some of it, here goes that dam
whistle and' seme sergeant or corporal jrells to the top of
their limgs, "Fall out" on the double toQ, Then about the
time ve are ready to stand attention'here comes one or tvro
girls out the door, coats unbuttoned, and cap in their hand.
Of course they are sent back into the barracks to dress and
vje have to stand there on snov; and ice vdth every bone play
ing, "Show Me The May Tb Go Home"c It’s really a groat life
even though there are h couplo of girls here in my platoon I vjould slap out of if
I were a'civilian and not in uniform,
Geeli Talk about cold weather, V'e really are having it up here. It w§s about
ten degrees belovv yesterday snd every time you stuck your head out it felt as thou^
the Tdnd v/ould cut your face into pieces. But regardless of the ;veather, vie have to
march to classes, mess, and have drill every day,
V/ell Staff, guess I had better cut this one short as li^ts are out and I*m sitt
ing on a cemcnt floor in the laundry room 6nd of course the seat is getting kinda'
hard, /md besides, I've got K.P, tomorrow. No, I've not been fiven a rating (K.P.)
just another duty we all have once in awhile‘in the army. My second time sii^ce I've
been in. ''' .

Always,

I received my free copy of the H, R. a few days ago and I sure did appreciate it,
I always did enjoy it at home but it is much more interesting now that I am away.
I really haven't much to write about. As j^ou know, I am in the hospital after
breaking my arm playing basketball. That reminds me that our .boys and girls at Piedr-
mont are doing pretty well in the county tournament, Here's hoping they are No. 1
when the final vrtiistle blows, *
I arrived at Camp Blanding February 1st and after eleven days of pre-cycle talk
and so on, we began our cycle on the 12th which was to last fifteen vreeks, I am'
sorry I didn't get to continue my training with my company for they are a pretty good
biinch of.boys. But I shall be transferred to another one vAien I am discharged from
the hospital.
The "folks at home wrote and told me D. C, Southard vias down here now but I have
n't seen him yet. The only boys I’have seen that I know are; Cljrde Poston, Jr, Bozo
Weir, and Vi/ham Carpenter of Shelby,
V/ell, I would like to close by thanking all my friends that have written me while
