Saturday

     "We went to school all day and saw a movie on battle wound dressing.  Just before we left, Chief gave back to me my liberty pass.  I was sure surprised.
     After chow I got cleaned up and Mendanca and I went to New London.  We got a ride in an Army jeep.  Some ride.  We messed around and then looked around town.  I got Betty a birthday card.  Then we played pool at the Y until supper.  Then I wrote to Sweet and played some more pool.  Went to the show and then came out and played pool until 3:00 in the morning.
     It seems strange in New London without Sweet.  Everything I see reminds me of something we did, or said.  It sort of makes me feel sort of funny inside.  I miss her so much and I love her with all my heart.  I got the letter she wrote me on the train from New York to Indianapolis.  I also got a letter from Dad.  He wrote me a whole letter.  He is some guy."
