"We are having things fairly easy
here now. The weather is nice and
cool too, so 1 am catching up on my
sleep. I have already seen most of
the shows that cyme here so there
isn’t much to do. They are getting
more stuff in the px. ail the time and
that makes it better. I arrived here
too late to sign the payroll so won’t
be sending any money home for a
while, I think 1 will be paid about
the tenth of the month. How are the
Newtons taking Bud's leaving for
the Navy,? At least you don’t have
to -worry about ’them* taking many
more of your bo^s.” *"
