Sat.
Wea. Clear-Rain August 9 Ther. 78

I got up at 6:15 and after cleaning up I had breakfast. About 9:45 Sgt. Busch DeBlasio and I made an inspection of Buldgs. T-9-10-11. We had most of the new fellows scared to death. It really is hard to act tough and hard when down in your heart you hate the job, But I guess it has to be done. This job will teach me plenty before I'm through. Forty five more new men come in today. After we got them all equiped [[equipped]] Busch and I went down town to do some shopping. I took a pair of shoes in to be fixed. After supper Walley and I wrote some letters and shot the Bull. Went to bed about 11:30 P.M. I also bought 24 Babe Ruth bars for $.70
