My dearest Maggie:

Our minds must work together, You know I started to think about a three day pass around Thursday, so I put in for one for 7^th to 9^th and also have the weekend, but I don’t know what is going to happen yet, probably end up by getting the weekend if that.

We are scheduled to move on or before the 15^th, so I don’t know.

It was very lonesome again over the weekend with nothing to do. I’ll be glad when next week rolls around. I think I will get a couple more towels for you and bring them along when I come (if I do). I saw a pretty good picture on Saturday night, “A Guy Named Joe”. Charlie is a 2^nd Lt. now, but I didn’t hear from him yet, he may have been sent across already.

Had a letter from mother and she said Phyllis was sick and missed school, two days. The doctor said she had an upset stomach or something, and I guess she went back to school today. Mother said she hates to miss school. She is some kid, I like her.

 I was busy for once today running around camp picking up things, it makes time go faster.

How are you feeling lately honey? Did you take in any fresh air yet? We have been having some nice weather here lately.

Alexander’s wife had a baby girl and I think she weighed 7 pounds. I guess he sure took a raging about having a girl. It’s funny, the three of us having babies a few days or weeks apart. Maybe we were trying to have a race. Remember that cemetery in Franklin?!!                        

Try to take in some fresh air honey. You may get to feel like yourself again.

I love you my dear Maggie.

Goodnight for now,

All my love,

Preston
