Hello Dad,
Thought I would answer your letter received the other day while I had time. I've got about 1-1/2 hours before the light goes out. They go out 5 minutes to 10.
I went to the sick bay today to let them look at my left foot. They put me to bed for about four hours, then they taped my foot real tight and sent me back to the barracks. Then, I had to go out and drill the rest of the day.
While we was taking our morning exercise today, they made us run around a big field 7 or 8 times, and some boys passed out and fell on the ground. The Sargent made some of the boys step all over him, but I wouldn't do it. I jumped over him. Then, he made some of the boys who jumped over him go back and step all over the poor boy.
But, as you know, they can't get the best of us West Virginia boys. We have a boy pass out just about every day now, but they are sure not from West Virginia.
I think we go up to the rifle range tomorrow, or Wednesday, and I might not get to write so often, so if you don't hear from me for a while, don't worry because I don't think we'll get to write so often up there.
We sure have been having some pretty weather here, and my face is even sunburned. I guess you've been having it tough with the big truck on the icy roads. I sure don't miss the cold weather.
I got a big pay day. I drew 15 bucks after everything was taken out.
Well, Dad, I guess I will close for now. Hoping to hear from you all soon.
Your son,
Pedue
