Dear Folks: Watered the grass again. The flowers need some fertilizer I think. The 2 cats Lil’ Abner & Daisy Mae still come around every morning to be fed and sleep here most of the day. Mr. B, the cocker spaniel, is fat as a pig. He goes to every hut to get things to eat. We had a little spare time to-day so Talton, Watkinson, Hay, Kinnan, Sgt. Bascoe & I were given a plane and sent on some errands to several other fields. Saw lots of things new to us and had a good time. All for now
                                    Yours truly,
