Hello Mom,
Will try to scribble you a few lines before we fall out to get our whole uniform. We got back from the rifle range last night. I haven't had time to write in 3 or 4 days. I have to go on mess duty Sunday, and we have to stay on it until next Sunday. If we get a furlough, I guess I'll be home about the 7or 8 of March.
I got your box yesterday morning, and the candy was awful good. It is just about gone now. I don't guess there is any use to send me any more because we will get to eat all we want when we are on mess duty.
I didn't make out so good on my rifle yesterday. I just made marksman. We get our medal today. Some of the boys made expert.
I'm glad to be back to our main station. It is a lot cleaner and just a whole lot better place.
I haven't gotten all my teeth fixed yet, and my jaw tooth has been hurting me for 2 or 3 days. I guess I will get them fixed before I leave here.
The Sargent told some of the boys we would get about 60 or 70 bucks before we leave here. But, it's going to take a good bit if I come home. It cost about 18 bucks to go home, I think, and $13 for a suit case, and $4 for my cap. That's $35. Well, I don't care; just so I have enough to have a good time if I ever get to come home again.
After we go on mess duty, we have to get up at 3:00 a.m. and will quit around 8:30 or 9:00 that night, so I don't think I'll have much free time to write, so don't worry if you don't hear ffrom me for a while.
Your son,
Pedue
