Although l am not in the least inclined to be homesick or dis Hruntled you can give me dear old Now Brit every time. But 1t will take more than this to break my spirit for I am enjoying excellent health. am progressing and do enjoy every min- ute of breathing space. How much longer they intend to keep me here don't know, and where they will next send me is a problem. They talk about every peg being fitted for a round or square hole. but am be- ginning to think they will have to ind a special place for me as some who came about the same time I did. and others who have been here only few weeks have been sent out.

 T cannot tell you how glad I was to hear from you and the pleasa mt thoughts 1t gave me to know that others wore thinking of me, as down here feel like a man without a coun- try. felt very much alone among the HOO men here, all Southerners. although they arc all perfect gentle mon and flne fellows.

 While I do not care for any no toriety. you may tell the boys in the lodge that any information of interest I can give them Is at their disposal Little do you realize the life we are leading here and the pleasures and comforts we have given up.

 Here Is a little idea of how we live: Up at 530 every morning, out before breakfast for 20 minutes ex ercise in our shirt sleeves, breakfast, then two hours of drilling, then lec- lures, dinner, more drills-in short it is a continual Fall in,' Fall Out We even have three evening lectures week.
