does he think the job will bring. Say do you know what division of the army Herb is in. I know he would be glad to hear from me. So find out what division of the army is in for me and how to address the mail. I would love to know Ben Baugh's address, he was down in Mexico but what he enlisted in I don't know. Maybe Erwin could find out. By going to Steffen's store he would be able to get both Ben's and Herb's. We are kept good and busy every day. This week we are going to start taking hikes. We have neem as some but they are going to give us us over "Packs" and then for the goodwork outs. But it sure makes a fellow feel good. The only thing is that one is ready to go to bed good and early. Lots of times
when it is nine o'clock and lights go out and time to got to bed. I think gee it is only 7:£0 back home and generally I would be jst about ringing uo Bill to go to the city. But now it is in bed at the old time. There is a difference of 1:30 in your time and ours. So you cna look at the clock about 7:30 and say to yourself that poor little Lewis is now going to bed away up in Maine. It was hard at first to live up to the life to go when you are supposd to get in bed early. But don;t hardly notice it anymore. Well MotherI have to go to post now. But will write tomorrow. Remaining
Your Loving Son,
Lewis
