It was cool this morning until the sun was high in the sky.
For breakfast I ate a banana, Krumbles, coffee, milk, and fried spuds. Dinner was chicken and noodles, spuds, bread, and water. For supper I had ox heart in a pepper sauce, spuds, bread and water.
This morning I had to rush because I slept late again. I think it was because the weather was cool. I barely had time to get washed up and slipped into my union-alls before reveille. I worked in the warehouse this morning. I counted halters and packed them away, then counted a bunch of old shovels and things.
I had a letter from Honey Girl at noon and another one tonight. She is getting along as well as could be expected. As for myself, I had a complaint about my eyes and throat this morning and went to the infirmary. The doctor send me to the base eye clinic. I could only get an appointment for nine tomorrow. So I’ll have to go in again in the morning.
We had the G. M. Colonel here this evening to see about a lot of condemned clothes, shoes, and things. Corporal King & Somerville and myself turned out about twenty bags of old clothes, shoes, socks, gloves, underwear, etc.
There are a great number of men leaving this camp heading east. The entire seventh division is going, I guess. There are rumors flying around the remount about all these men being examined for overseas duty. I guess it is really a rumor though. They also say that Major Phillips goes this week for France. I don’t know, it may be true. If it were not for being so far away from Mary I would like to go too, it seems.
Becky…these stories seem almost surreal. I’ve enjoyed a glimpse into the past. Also wanted to say I do see things you post sometimes. And am amazed with all you do and are involved in. Congrats on all the grands…we aren’t there yet. Trust you and Britt are doing well. Just wanted to say Hey and let you know you aren’t forgotten and your words are appreciated.
❤️ Mary “May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ.” â€â€ 1 Thess. 5:23 MSG
