Dear Folks:
Another week gone and what I mean it has been a busy one. They really are giving us the work but I feel as if I am accomplishing something and I know that I am learning something every day.
Really am getting a nice sun tan.
Got my paper back on Naval Law and I passed it. Also, this evening we ordered uniforms. Total cash for a blouse and two pair of pants $118 but they allow us $150. I have to buy shoes, kahkis, field scarfs, and etc. Yet. But, I will come out and I feel I will go right on up the ladder.
Folks this is just like camping out. Put your bucket of water on the oil stove to heat and then shave and wash with it.
Mother, I am glad you enjoyed the flowers, some day I hope to be able to do more for you and dad.
Got a letter from Elizabeth today and you can tell her she had better forget the pup as she was quite correct the old gang is being split up.
Golly! How I would like to see all of you. Be sure to tell the Aunts and all the family hello for me..
Am enclosing you a picture of Larry Adams daughter and I. Tell Bobby & Anne that they have a rival that she calls me Uncle Mac.
All of you write to me when you have time. I must now study for a map test we have tomorrow.
Love to all,
Leo
