Writes that there is nothing to report from camp. Is disappointed that his sister Ella couldn't find the time to respond to his letter. Writes that he turned in a man to the Provost Marshall because the man's daughter was singing anti-Yankee songs. Tells her to ask their aunt for fifty dollars so that he can renew his wardrobe. Hopes that there is some chance of getting a leave of absence next month.
