February 27 and 28, 1944

Hello Mom,

Will try to write you a few lines while I have time. I haven't written but one letter today. I've been lying around sleeping all day long after I got off guard duty. Sorry I got ice cream on this letter. Every time I eat ice cream, I get it all over the place.

I've got a boil or something on my gum next to a tooth, and it sure hurts.

I think we get paid Tuesday. I'll be glad to get 69 bucks, if I get that much. I haven't got but about $1.50. I got my dress shoes and some more shirts and other things. I guess we will leave out o here Monday morning. They said if we do go to our next base before we get our furlough, we will get it after we get to the new base. I hope we do have to go to our next base first, because it is about 12 hours closer, and that means I will get to stay home 12 hours longer. Also, I can save a little more money.

Well, I will close for now. I have to go on guard duty at 2:00 in the morning until 4:00.
Tell everyone hello for me.

Your son,

Pedue

p.s. I just got back from playing cards, and I lost 1.50. So I am broke now until Tuesday. The sargent came in and saw us but didn't say anything. I don't like to play cards now because I haven't played in so long.
