Dear Nelli,
Well we are in, and what do you think, a whole hour early. We are having a damn good thunder shower. It is raining like the devil but everyone is swetting. We had a night problem and it was quite interesting, cooler and a lot better than it has been in the hotsun. Tomorrow night or Sunday I am going to read all your letters and answer the question, then throw them away. I will also ask

you to send some things if you have sent them, just forget it. Take Jackie where ever you think best. We are having a little fun with one man in out Company. In the end they say he will get 6 months or more in the guard house. We are keeping our psatron sgt. and also have the new one. He is a damn nice gent.

parts. We have to take our rifles down at least twice a day and wipe out sand. We don't get a chance to fire them for at least 3 more weeks. I received your letter today says that you sent the padlock and smokes, I sure can use them, 6 packages a week will be kind of hard for me to get by with. The money order was timely and hit the spot as I had less than $5.00 left.

After suppose we go to the PX and drink at least of Coca Cola and Ice Cream. Then to the movies then you buy your smokes and it takes more money than you should spend, but it is so

hot and not a damn thing to do or a place to even sit down unless they(there) is 50 to 600 people present. Not like Groton Pond or any place that I liked to spend my spare time. I may add to this in the morning out(or) just mail it.

Dear Nelli,
We went in o Augusta last night got ready to have about 6:00 P.M. and couldn't get to town until nearly 9:30. Had a hot Chicken Sandwich and had to leave for camp by 10:30 got in just before 12:00. It was more like getting ome when we got into camp. The city is just one big bunch of Soldiers and the people in town don't like to see them.

Fed Asjley had the Ricke's Camp At present I can't think of a name for the Baby. I am afraid that I shall have to leave that to you and mother. I might add later if I have a brain storm.
