train-not exactly a pleasure trip,
but very interesting Captain
Goree travelled over $1,000 miles
by sea alone. before reaching his
destination.
He is working day and night,
the captain writes. but then every
one is staying on the job. They
have fine quarters and food. Gig
arettes and beer are rationed
when they can get any. but most
necessities can be purchased.
Captain Goree speaks highly Of
his commanding officer and the
men he is working with. They
furnish their own entertainment
as there Is little or none TO be had
otherwise Goree's biggest com
plant Is having to shave with
cold water. but from what | hear
IL won't be cold along about the
middle OF July or August" The
Captain should feel at home then.
And in another letter received the
same day from Captain Goree. he
indicates his continuing interest
in cotton production by requesting
information as to l943 prospects,
with the economic problems OF ra.
tioning. high wages, etc.
The Captain adds he hopes to

do all of their plowing by hand
and level land by carrying dirt in
baskets-land we could not afford
TO touch with our modern equip
ment. I'VE have had a few rains
but don't know what we will do
when the rains really start as TINS
