Hello Brother
I will answer your letter I got to day and was glad to hear from you I am well
and hope you are the same.
I like the Army ok. We went out Friday night and put up tents and stayed
all night I had lots of fun.
Tomorrow we have to crawl under bob wire for 100 yds with Machine guns shooting
15 inches over our heads. All kinds of things like that is lots of
fun. We are going to have a beer party Tuesday Night. The Platoon
had a bet the one had the lowest score would buy the other Platoon Beer and soft
drinks. The Platoons is the Buildings you stay in. The Platoon I am
in had had the highiest score in the company. The scores that we made when
we was shooting the rifle. Who was Pauline with when you saw her in town.
I don't give a dam about her no more. She wrote and told me that Lacy F.
took her picture twice up at the church and I haven't wrote to her since But I
think I will write to her and give her hell.
Tell Jr Garrison I said hello I am in the Infantry the mans army. I men it
takes a man to stand it. Boys down here falls out like flys. I like
it fine. Well since news is scarce I will close By By answer soon
Wilson
P.S. If you see Pauline tell her I said to take Lacy F. and go to hell and if Lacy F. don't like it tell him wait until I get furghlo I will settle it with him. Or if you see Lacy First tell him
