Dear Miss Williams -
Please accept profuse and copious apologies for my so long neglect to answer your next to the last letter. I'm off to Camp Benning, Georgia now, to report to the Commanding Officer of the Infantry School of Arms there for instruction.
This school of arms is a sort of post-graduate training camp that has the one I went to at Snelling looking like a home for the aged and infirm when it comes to being strenuous. I understand.
The only thing that worries me much is the proposition of getting by ballistics with a total knowledge of trigonometry amounting to zero or there abouts. The next most exciting thing will be military sketching. I'm wondering, now, if I can't have my tonsils taken out the week before
