Dear Mother,
Only six more days, and I will once again be in camp. We have been quite fortunate -- there has been only one day and one night when it has really rained.
~~~
That blue letter of yours was very clever -- when I received it I couldn't imagine what it was -- it must have taken considerable time to "construct".
Will try to get those pictures which you requested when I get back to camp.
It was swell of you all to send me birthday cards and letters. I hadn't realized I was about to gain another year until I began to get so many letters.
Sometime very early tomorrow, we start out on a 36 hour problem -- with rifles, mortars, and machine guns, so I was able to steal -- or borrow a few rations while on K.P. -- so with my few candy bars I shouldn't fair too badly.
Am certainly looking forward to next Saturday -- I guess we have a 25 mile march in.
Love, Franklin
P.S. Had one helluva time getting air mail stamps -- I bought a book specially, but forgot to bring it.
