Dear Mom,
Received you letter a while ago and thought I would answer while I had time. I just got through washing my clothes. I hadn't washed but one time before, so I had a pile of them.
Tom got a box of home-made candy today, so him and me have been sitting around eating it all day long. It sure tasted good. I do wish you could send me some kind of candy. Don't make much difference what kind it is. We don't get to go to the PX very often, maybe once a week, and some times they have different kinds of stuff, but no cookies, so you can send me some cookies if you want to.
We didn't pass our 10-day inspection yesterday, so we have to drill until dark every day now with a 9-pound rifle. But I don't mind it now. It seems like another working day back home after you get used to it. I don't even mind them kicking my ass every now and then since I have gotten used to it. I guess it makes you tough.
We had chicken for dinner today, and they also gave us some ice cream. I got weighed today, and I weigh 154, so I guess I've gained a little weight since I've been here. I think we have to go have our teeth fixed tonight. I've taken so many shots now that they don't even hurt when I take them now.
Mom, I wrote Eileen a letter, but I don't guess she got it if she moved. I'll write her another one after while. I wrote three letters today. I was supposed to go to church today but didn't go.
I haven't heard from Louise for a good while. I got 2 letters from her in one day and haven't heard from her since. I don't think I'll write no more to her unless she writes.
Guess I will have to close for now. Hope to hear from you soon. Glad to hear that Dad is working again. You don't need to send me a fountain pen, because I don't need one, but try to send the candy and cookies.
Your son,
Eddie
