Dear Jackie & Nelli:
I will drop another line, I have had my dinner; since I mailed the other letter and recieved yours. As far as business goes for the time being keys the truck and car. I see that you mailed your letter from St. Johnsbury, so guess that you have been to the Ration Board. Jackie how is all of your family Doll, Flash, Joe, Rabit and Cat

Have you gieevn Joe away yet if so who to. We can get only two jongs of cig at a time so you had better buy some for Harold. There is a U.S.O Dance tonight at Shirley and Beavly but so dar I guess. I havent got to go so can get some sleep. They are shipping out about 2000 tomorrow but will drop you a card if I am on the list before we leave. They you won't hear again for a week or more

Of course we have no idea where we are going but It will be south all of the Navy reject to head in that direction. Did I mention that I say Dr Brady. He was the doctor who looked us over here at Devens. All he said to me was that it was "about time that they got me". The old shit ass. I had to go over to the orderly Room and the Sgt told me to get to bed. If Sd stayin the army very long and get

in the habit of waiting then order to rejet to some one else, then orders to go back and stay out of sight. you won't ever be able to find me. The Shipping list has just been posted I haven't been down as yet but will let you know before I finish this letter they say that there is between 400 - 500 instead of 200. No I am not on this list but there is another one coming so woll hold this letter until later
Love
Phillip P.S. no more out tonight only 150 today.
