Dear Folks

I got your letter today so must answer. Also got one from Virginia. She seems to like her job good only has to work pretty hard I guess.

I got to drive today, I never got transferred to a drivers division, I’m just attached driver for A company. May get transferred to the service company that means service for the 129 regiment.

You talk like you were still getting some moisture everything must be soaked up. I saw about 10 acres of potatoes today that were all in bloom. They sure were pretty. A guy was cultivating them with one little mule and no lines.

Too bad about Aunt Rinnie’s brooder house. I haven’t heard from her for a long time.

So Laurence has pretty crooked rows. I remember when I used to list corn, my rows never were too straight either.

I won’t know when I’ll come home until the night before or the same day. That’s the way it’s been with the others but it will be some time next week around the 11th I think.

They say we are going to have to work Sunday on our new tent city we are moving into next week. Don’t know how true the rumor is.

Well folks I guess that’s all the news. Laurence I got a letter from your sweetheart yesterday pretty good. I haven’t answered yet.

I feel good and sure ain’t been hurting my self the last 2 weeks. I’ll be so soft I won’t be able to stand nothing. Good night

Love

Wesley
