Dear Folks:
This California weather surely is funny. Here it is nice and cool until about eleven a.m. Boy oh boy does it ever get hot then. In the evening it gets rather chilly around nine p.m.
All yesterday afternoon we shined our shoes, belts, belt buckle, cap bill & cap strap. We have our inspection by the Major General tomorrow and I guess he must be plenty particular. All the above mentioned must shine good enough for one to see their reflection in it.
Will have to finish this after 6:30 a.m. chow.
It is now 11:20 a.m.—we just got back from walking about eight miles with our rifles and before that we did setting up exercises with the rifle.
We work hard but the time seems to go rather fast.
By the way I am starting to lose some weight and just where I needed to around the waist.
Thanks Dad for the stamps. They surely do come in handy.
Boy this is the longest I have ever gone without spending so much as a dime.
We will not be allowed out of the camp until after boot camp and I expect by then one will be so tired they will want to sleep for a month.
Have been getting the papers o.k. and I am always glad to hear from all of you.
Hope all of you are feeling fine. Give my regards to the neighbors.
Love to all,
Leo
