Dear Folks:
This is going to (be) a short round and definitely not newsy but stationery is plentiful and I’m loafing so here goes.
All your duck and pheasants sound good from here—Don must be developing a shootin’ eye. I guess him and Hammy really made a pair.
I’m enclosing the first page of our paper and on it you will find a few lines by me on the outfit—this is the second time I’ve been in but couldn’t find a copy of last weeks.
For the past three days a crew of men have been harvesting a field of cane adjacent to our camp—it’s quite a process and entails the use of a lot of equipment including caterpillars and derricks to lift the cane onto small cars on a narrow gauge railroad track. But before the stuff is cut it is burned to destroy the underbrush and facilitate cutting.
All that fancy stuff about Kate’s wedding has the tone of a coronation.
I might be putting on the gloves with the censor but we are near a town about the size of Ritchell and it has a large Kress store and a couple other up to date establishments. I mailed two or three packages a few days ago so let me know if you get them. Couldn’t find anything for Don or Dick but I’ll find something.
There’s a soldier’s program from Hawaii, in fact two or three I believe and I think you can get them.
I think I’m getting all your mail although it doesn’t arrive as rapidly as mine does to you.
The General was around today but guess we’re up to snuff enough to satisfy him.
Well, am out of material so here’s the curtain.
Love,
