Dearest,

Everyone is getting fed up with things around here and I am no exception. Supposedly for being “off the ball” we have to drill an extra two hours every night, after supper. Last night we didn’t get in till 9:45 and had top be in bed by 10:00. I think if anyone wold have had a good plan or with alittle encouragement all of us would have gone over the hill.

I am assuming of course that you won’t go grab off someone before then.

Guten Nacht –

All my love,
