Diamond informs Estelle that, at the termination of a long period of extremely arduous intensive jungle training, he had thought of her constantly. He tells her that "[F]rankly it's been rough", commenting that this "jungle nonsense" is a little out of his line. He complains of suffering from the jungle soldier's type of athlete's foot, resulting from constant exposure of the feet to wet, damp conditions.
