Tuesday Oct. 31 6 a.m.! Hello, sweetie - I did get up at reveille, for the second and last time since I've been here. Dawn breaks about half an hour after the bugle, so I had to shave in the dark - at the mess hall things weren't ready (technically supposed to be, but nobody gets there that early amongst the officers) and I sat around for twenty minutes going back to sleep; I had finished my breakfast (tomato juice, cream of wheat, and hotcake with sorghum) before the next diner arrived - My only aim was to try to find a regular time to write everyday other than evening, which I’d like to have free for reading, movies, bridge or extra correspondence. But I guess I won't be quite that jealous; I'm halfway back to sleep again even now, after breakfast. Noon Lunch consisted of rice covered with chili sauce (tastes good, but I get indigestion or heartburn every time I eat it - as I did when we had it 3 times a week in Military School, just before drill); squash which tasted like pumpkin - maybe it was, but it had the consistency of squash; butterscotch pudding and lemonade. The food isn't bad here, tho there isn't much variety and the old timers are tired of it. Back to my long and dull filing job - the sooner done the better. ‘By now, darling - I'm trying to write often rather than at length, when I can't do both. I love you Warren
