"We have been terrifically busy these past few days. I wish I could tell you all about it, but I can't; my job and what I'm doing here is the most important thing don't forget it. If my letters are full of social activities it's only because I can't talk about the other things, and I do wish I could, I still have some bad moments over these G.I's I take care of - I doubt if I'll ever get hardened to the army. I'd like it better if I could tell it all to you two, who are so close to me. I try to see if the army way, that is that men are expendable, if they fall by the wayside it's just one of those things. It all started over two guys I got in today. Boy I really thought they were goners. But tonight he was rational and talked to me. Well I'm glad he's going to make it. I could go on and say what I'm thinking, that is, he's going to make it to only fight and perhaps be killed. It's a tough war Mom and Dad, and I'm sure learning a life time of experiences."
