Dear Sis:-
Yesterday at noon I received a box of delicious chocolates from you and
assure you they came in right. Thank you very kindly. Also last eve. I
received another of candy and cookies from Mr. and Mrs. B.H.W. My busy
day. You know that I always could eat candy and down here we don't get any
but peanut bars and it tastes good. I've had more time off this week than
any since I've been here. Trained the first few days and we are getting a
rest. I received a slight promotion this A.M. and am transferred to the
headquarters company of this regiment. Up until the last move Hump and I
have been together but this separates us for good. I don't know what my
work will be yet because all my papers aren't thru but am moving today. I
think the duties are a little easier there and I may have a motorcycle to
ride. Then I can cease "seeing the world on foot", as they call it here. I
am going downtown tonight for the second time since I have been here. Did
you know that Delcina Roger was married to a soldier and works in a
vaudeville house in Augusta. Ushers, I think. I had forgotten all about
such a person. From the rumors here I think we'll be moving soon. Back
north they say. My address has changed a good bit in the last year. I was
counting the other night twelve states and the D.C. in that time. Not bad
for a boy who never left the farm till his twenty fourth birthday, eh? I
think my next tour will include England, France and ultimately I expect to
see the centres of art in Berlin. What times are you on and do you ever
get home? Gee it don't seem two years and over since you left. Just think
one more and you'll be "educated, by heck." as Leil Sherrick said. Well,
must get my mess and go to packing so, will cease. You can send my mail
the same because I'll still be in this outfit and it will be changed just
a little. Let me hear and thanks for the candy. Au revoir!
