Hello:
      Ma, I have just received word that I am one of 150 who will be shipped out this Friday (Nov. 20). I don't know where we will be sent but will let you know when I get there. There won't be much use for you and Daddy to make that proposed trip this Sunday. Tell Phus to get the book which she spoke of. I received the cards from Kitty and Yvonne - thanks.
Pvt. E.P. Reinhalter
