Wednesday Noon

Dear Mom––

As you may have noticed by the address I am in the Hospital–– I have a cold and sore throat––you know the kind I used to get every once in a while––and this morning I went on sick call and they sent me here––nothing to worry about–I’ll be out in a week or so (they keep you an unusually long time in the army hospitals)

Had a V-mail letter from Gene and will try to answer it this evening––He seems to be getting along ok––It would be odd if he should run into Vogt wouldn’t it? ––

My new address will be

Ward # 103

Station Hospital # 2

Fort Jackson, S.C.

Write when you have time––send those papers as soon as you can––Don’t worry–they’re looking after me––I’ll be all right soon––

Love

Jack––
