January 27, 1944

Hello Mom,

Well here I am up at the rifle range, and I don't like this place as well as I did down where we was because it is so dirty looking. But, I guess it will be alright once we start shooting the rifles in three days. We got here yesterday about 5:30. We have to stay here for three weeks, then we go back to where we were and stay about a week, then we get to go home. I am sure going to have the time of my life when we go home.

I won't get to mail this until tomorrow night, but I thought I'd write while I had time. I am feeling pretty good. My foot is a whole lot better. I don't think it will give me any more trouble.

Tom and I sleep together. I sleep on the top bunk, and he sleeps on the bottom.

I've got about 21 bucks now, and I can't even spend it. But, I'll sure spend it when I get home. I should have a good bit more by then.

Would you try to send another box of something? It don't matter what it is, just so it's something good to eat.

Guess I will close for now. It's about time for the lights to go out. I am a little behind on my letter writing. I've got four letters to answer.

Love,

Pedue

p.s. Tell Dad not to work too hard.
