Well, I found out where I am going. I am going to Washington, D.C. I think I'm going to be a guard there for a while. I'm going there instead of New River. It will be a whole lot closer to home. I think it takes about 12 hours to get home from there. There are about 11 or 12 of us boys going there. All of them are pretty good boys.
Tom is going to Maryland. Just him and another boy are going there from our platoon. The boy who is going with Tom lives about 10 miles from where they are going to be stationed. After we get settled down in Washington, we will get our dress blues, and boy, are they nice looking! Four or five of the boys bought them a set of dress blues here, and it cost them 52 bucks, but we will get ours free since we are going to Washington.
Well, I got me another haircut a while ago. I wish they hadn't cut it because it was starting to grow in pretty good. I bought me a garrison cap the other day, and it cost me 4 bucks.
Well Mom, I will close for now because we will have to fall out in a few minutes to run bayonet for record. Hoping to see you soon. I hope to have a long talk with the President when I get home. haha
Your son,
Pedue
