Well I missed another day. It's getting to be a habit so I better get on the XXX. Saturday we had classes until noon and instead of P.T. we had to stand personal inspection. We each stood by the front of our bunk at a position of parade rest, and when he came by you would automatically come to attention. He told me to cut the end of my belt off for it came too far out from the buckle. It's just supposed to be about one inch over. That means if you have a 30" waist your belt it 31".

During one study period I was on a detail to move some mattresses and tables. After chow we signed the payroll then we were free for the weekend. I got dressed and signed out. I walked to town and bought some shaving cream and tooth paste and listerine. While I was in town I met the boy I was with last week and so we walked around and then came home for supper. We went to the show at seven o"clock and got back at nine. There was a dance at the girls dorm so I went over there for an hour or so while Ben went home and wrote some letters. The girls are nice and I had a lot of fun. I went and found Ben at 10:30 and we went down town again, this time to see the midnight show. We got in about 2:00. Jack went to Amarillo again and since I wasn't feeling well I didn't. This morning I got up at 8 and got dressed and then went back to bed. I skipped breakfast and supper today. I darned some sox this morning and also washed some hankies and sox. I went to dinner and then came back and slept until about 6:30. I got up and wrote a theme and now I'm waiting to fall out and Lord knows what then, it's only 9:45. I feel better. My throat isn't sore any more but I'm lacking ambition. I'm not going to send sox. If you want to send me some just send white or gray sweat sox. I haven't wrote any letter at all today or last week except yours and I'm not going to until I feel better. I use all my spare time in sleeping. And that's what I'm going to do now so I'll close.

Love, Rae
