Dear Hazel and Art:
Arrived here Tues. morning. It's really nice down here. We have nice
barracks and the meals aren't so bad but they aren't as good as they were
at Sheridan. We do a lot of drilling and a guy really can sleep. I'll
be here for about 6 to 8 wks. and from here I don't know where we'll go.
