Dear Mom & Dad,

            Well we walked around all over Diego last night and boy is it a big place. Up here the shows last all night. We went to a double feature show at 12 o’clock last night and didn’t get out till 3 A.M. and then we came back to camp. Some of the boys didn’t come back till today. They said they slept in the theater till 6 this morning and then at in town. The theater is even bigger than the ones in D.C. The camp is just about the same as the one at tent city, only here we have to eat out of our mess gear. It all gets pretty well mixed up when they put all our food in that little mess gear.

            I hope you got those letters I wrote while I was on the train. I guess those people mailed them.

            Well I don’t know anything so I’ll stop now and write Julia a few lines.

 

With love

Your son

Joe
