January 30, 1944

Dear Mom,

Will try to answer your letter received a while ago. I was glad to get it. I got two letters today, one from you and one from Eileen. She sent me a souvenir. I'm going to send it to you so it won't get tore up.

No, we don't drill now. We just learn to shoot the rifle. They said that we will get to go home about the 20th, but I don't think we will until about the first of March.

Mom, this place is an island, but trains travel over it and they have bridges across it. It is still hot.

I ate two pints of ice cream today, and I ate a good bit at the mess hall, so I'm pretty full now. We have chicken every Sunday, or maybe I should say "sea gull." haha

Well, Mom, I had to go to show awhile ago, and I just got back. It is time for the mail to go out, so I will close for now and try to write tomorrow. Wish I could write more but I haven't time.

Your son,

Pedue
