 Dearest Mom & Dad,

             We have changed our schedule and I am loafing today.  Well, I saddle soaped all my shoes and other than that, I have done nothing. (I have ten pairs of shoes).

             I had much rather be busy than loafing because the time is much shorter.  When we are off, there is nothing of interest other than writing.  Yesterday I went up in the mountain and saw a very large and beautiful CENSORED.  One of the prettiest I have ever seen.  Spent nearly the whole day up there.  I was really tired when I got back to camp.

             About the main thing I do is to wonder how long it will be before I get back home.  Sure do wish I knew.  Probably about a year I guess.  Well, Mom, tell Dad to write again.  I surely do like to hear from him.  Don’t worry.

 

                                                                                                Love, Son
