Dear Folks,<\/p>\n

Have been trying to get a letter off but haven’t had the time yet so here’s a card. These bivouacs are alot of work and with very few comforts. The flys and mosquitoes are bad and there are plenty of scorpions and snakes. They have a very bad habit of crawling in bed with you. We have been having different lectures, tactical marches, a forced march of 20 mi. tomorrow with full pack, field problem this afternoon and hike back to the base Fri. morning. The H2O supply is limited to about 2 gal.\/person\/day. We are not allowed to shave and my face is just starting to itch, needless to say no bathing.<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

Tom<\/p>\n
