Hello Mom,
Will try to answer your letter received this evening. We got off mess duty tonight. Boy, was I glad. That was the tiredest I've been since I came to Parris Island, and now we have to go on guard duty in the morning. I think I go on at 8:00.
I wish the people around here would make up their minds. One day they tell us we are going home around the 6th, and the next day they tell us we will go to our next base and stay a few days, then get our furlough. So don't expect me home until you see me coming.
We signed up for our pay day the other day, and I think I get 69 bucks. I think we get paid next week.
Tom went to the show a while ago, so I just went over and got me some hair oil, and a pint of ice cream and some cigarettes.
Mom, you know Louise is expecting me to marry her when I come home. Every letter I get from her, she says something about it. She wrote once and said she would be the happiest girl in the world if I would ask her to marry me. But, there is no way that I would marry her. I wouldn't marry any girl and give her 25 bucks of my pay.
Well, I haven't got my uniform coat back from the tailor yet. Hope to get it back by Wednesday.
I hope to get caught up on my sleep next week because I sure have been losing a lot of sleep. Just think 4-1/2 hours each night for 7 nights, so I didn't get but about 30 hours sleep last week.
We have to have bayonet practice for three days before we leave here. It's not very hard. We will start Monday.
Guess all I'll get done tomorrow is my laundry and writing some letters. I've got a bunch of them to answer. Will close for now. Will write again tomorrow.
Your son,
Pedue
