Quiet evening; every day chores. Reading Stephen Vincent Benét on Gettysburg; very moved. As moving as Freeman on Robert E. Lee after Appomattox. Training getting more intense, longer. Letters to CSK interfering with his twice weekly letter schedule with parents. Hadn’t written to George D. Kinder (GeoDK) to thank him for ‘the most perfect weekend of my life’. then talked with GeoDK. Planning Sunday call to CSK. Shares his passion for polished brass. Bedeviled by bug bites. New roommate, a Captain, fanatic for neatness. GTK hopes it rubs off on him. #15
