Dear Mom,
Will start you a letter while it is raining, but won't get to write much. I guess we will go back out soon. Got a letter from you a while ago and also got one yesterday but didn't get any mail for about 3 days.
I can swim a little now, but not much. I have to go swimming tonight and tomorrow night, then I won't go anymore. I'll have to finish learning at our next camp.
Mom, I'm not too tired to write at night, but I just don't have time. When we come in of an evening, we got to go to chow, then when we come back, I've got to clean my rifle then go swimming.
I guess the paper was torn off my clothes when you got them. I had to wrap them up before I sent them, and I don't know how to wrap, but I knew they wouldn't do me any good anymore so I didn't care how I wrapped them. Tell Dad to wear those shoes if they fit him because there's no use in letting them sit around.
Tell Betty and Jewell they can get me a cheap fountain pen if they want to, but don't spend more than .50 or .75 cents for it. The reason I want one is because we have to signed things here, and they have to be signed in ink.
It is still raining. I guess we will sit here until it stops because they don't want our rifles to get wet.
I haven't gotten paid again. I guess they will wait until we go home to pay us again. I don't guess I'll get to come home until after the first of March, if then.
Well, Mom, I can't think of anything else to write about, so I guess I will lay down and try to sleep a while. I will try to write you tomorrow. Tell everyone I said hello.
Your son,
Pedue
