February 8, 1944
This letter is only to Harry, his brother. He's enclosed a donation for a Valentine's Day gift for their mother. It's "a hell of a mess down here...we work alternating sifts for 6 hours a night 6-12 and 12-6" and he tried to arrange his schedule so he'd have some time to get some washing done, some sleep and maybe some letters, but the orderlies weren't on the job and his room is "Gigged" tonight with a G.I. party, scrubbing from 6-9 to get the barracks in shape. He's learning quickly about sneaking out, and plans to sneak to church for Communion & Novena, which means he'll miss chow. It appears that Harry helped out on the home front with correcting Frank's classification by contacting Colonel House, who is "very nice and more than glad to help anyone in trouble." That's all for now!
