Private Bedford Thurman has received oreders to ship to the Officers Candidate School at Miami Beach.
Charles Lindslay writes from Charlottesville, Virginia:
“We are all well (usually), my work progresses satisfactorily, and I still find time and energy to pursue outside activities. Have spent a good deal of time with my tools making things this fall and winter, have done a modest amount of rending…; am taking a night course in Spanish; and have a few other things to keep life varied and full. Frances is trying to kindle in me some of her enthusiasm for a large scale garden this year, but I can only see it as a duty and a wise provision against hard times. So we’ll have one—whatever the vision against hard times. So we’ll have one—whatever the motive. She has a fine flock of white Loghors that lay 15-18 eggs a day—enough to supply us and plenty to sell besides. We’ll probably start another flock for eating this spring.
