Hello Mom,
Will answer your letter received this evening. I'm dead on my feet now. I've been going since 4:00 this morning. We didn't get to sit down but once all day, and that was only for about 15 minutes. Boy, mess duty is a pain. We have to wear white pants.
I went over to the PX a while ago and got me a pint of ice cream, and a jar of peanuts. The peanuts cost 60 cents, but they were good.
No Mom, I don't guess there will be any use to send me any more candy because it costs you too much, and besides, I eat so much of it, I feel sick at my stomach.
You know, Mom, I didn't think I could stay away from home for a long time, but home never pops into my mind. I guess if I would think about home, it would worry me, but I just really like the marine corps. I believe I could stay away from home forever and never think about it, but I would want to see all of you.
Tell Betty I won't have time to write to her this week, and will only be able to write to you once in a while. I doubt if I'll have time to write to Louise, and I know she won't like that but I can't help it.
After Sunday, we won't have anything to do but lay around and get ready to ship out of this place. I might not get a furlough when I leave here. We might have to go to New River for 3 or 4 days an get settled there and get everything straightened out, and then we will get our furlough from New River.
Well Mom, I guess I will close for now because I have to take a shower and clean my rifle before the lights go out.
Your son,
Pedue
