Hello Family,
I sure hope that no news is good news. Pretty soon it’s going to be to the places where most any news is good news. I still am trying to blame our lack of mail on the fact that things aren’t set up completely as yet. At least I hope that’s the reason.
I’ll have a little change of work tomorrow even if it isn’t for the best. I’ve got KP so you can about guess how anxiously I am awaiting morning. I’ve not had it for a long while so I guess there’s no need to feel hard about it. It’s not supposed to be as hard here anyway.
As yet since we’ve been here, I’ve not worked even hard enough to even earn my pay. Maybe doing a day’s work will help my conscience a little. I’ve had more time to read the last few weeks than I did the whole year previously. I’ve already gone through two books and am well into the third. Now I’m making up for a little reading I should have done somewhere back in school by reading “Mutiny on the Bounty”. Let’s keep trusting that all things will work out for the best.
Love, Donald
