9/7

Dear Mom and Pop:

Well I just got done doing a little washing before we start cleaning up the barracks for inspection. Tomorrow we have to parade in the morning and then start working in chaw hall in the afternoon. Chaw hall won’t be as hard this time because there are only Waves and Chiefs to serve. I guess Aunt Flara isn’t receiving my letters so I’ll send them to our place. I’m starting to go to the dentist again. Now they tell me I have 18 teeth to get filled. They filled one already and I mean that was something. He practically drilled the whole tooth away and built a new tooth. It’s really a good job though. He told me that he’d numb the rest for me. I think I can say that he is better than Doc Barch. Well you’ll be able to come down in about a week, so rest up good so you can come down. Well I’ll have to close now. Take care of yourself.

All me love

Alfred
