Dear Marie,

Was glad to hear that you are getting along so well in school. I am
afraid that my report for that grade does not come up to yours. Let’s
forget all about that letter. It really was my fault anyway – I am
pretty well acquainted with the feeling that prompted you the write that
way. Wouldn’t you feel better if you went out more for good times among
your boy and girl friends?

Anyway I do understand perfectly and like you all the more for your
mistake – (for it surely was one)

This is a fine afternoon for riding but I don’t feel quite so “funny”
now. Stock and I got a few pictures this morning; if they are good I’ll
send them later.

We are going to move into “winter quarters” this week. They are wooden
cantonment barracks. The brick barracks will be occupied by reserve
officers in training. We worked with picks and spades Thursday and
Saturday morning at the “shacks”. Here are a couple pictures that I took
Saturday 3^(rd).

Yours,

F.

Be sure to have Roy take that picture.

on my arm.
