Addressed to "Dad + Bee." A big batch of mail just caught up to him and he now has nineteen letters dating back to September. He's happy to hear his packages arrived safely. Life is the same at base camp, and he admits to not being cut out for this camping life. He's not happy with the guy who invented C-Rations and is dealing with a fair bit of rain. He did get his first ration of warm coke and beer. Writes that all of his brothers seem to be moving in separate directions.
