Dearest Mother:-
Your letter reached me today & found me still at the same address. Humpy
didn't get away today but will go Thur. for sure. We all handed in our
guns today so we will all go some place this week. Maybe only in this camp
but we will all be out of the Depot Brigade. Humpy will be near
Jacksonville I guess & it would be nice if Florence could visit Hilk and
see him occasionally. They live near there don't they? Our quarantine ends
tonight and everyone is glad. I am all over my sore arms and sore joints
and feeling fine as usual. We had another exam tonight for dequalification
& were supposed to tell them if we had any defects. They didn't strip us
and I didn't tell them anything either. Some of us may get to stay on here
and help train the new ones in the first simple steps. I don't care where
they send me. I'm in the army now. It sure is tough for Dad to have to
work hard every day like that. That O.M. sure is a hoodoo. I never see
Mclean or any of the other guys anymore. “Mar" was up to visit us & when
he saw the sign he beat it fast. Sort of tough on Hemp having to go way
off like he is but that the way she goes. Well mother, there isn't any
special news I can tell you aside from the daily routine, so with sending
all love I close till tomorrow.
Best love and wishes to all
