  Dear Pat,
  

    Just a line hoping you and Mary are
  

  quite well. I would have answered your letter
  

  last week only we got our photo taken and they
  

  were to be ready on Monday last but they did
  

  not come untill saturday. they are not very
  

  good but I will get one taken by myself soon
  

    I do not know if you will notice my mostash
  

  it is a nusence. but you have to let it grow
  

  if you shave it off you are lible to get 4 days C. B.
  

    I am in very good health and am
  

  beging to like the training we start on Mus
  

  keting on Monday. it is very interesting & after
  

  that we will go on bayonet fighting. They are
  

  very pictular about that as there is a lot
  

  of that done at the front just now. I am
  

  glad we are done with squad drill because
  

  if we were kept at it much longer I think
  

  it would have killed some of us. You can
  

  see by the card they are a fragile lot.
