Clear  AUGUST 28  85

Up at 0930E. Mag. Fletcher woke us up and ask in a joking way if we slept all day. Received a wool sweater, scarf and two pair of swell wool sox knitted by the Red Cross. Had a physical inspection and I passed it O.K. I got everything packed and ready to go. About [[strikethrough]] six [[/strikethrough]] 1800E. we loaded our Barracks bags on a truck to be taken to the station. Said good-by to the gang at the lab. I hate to leave it after getting it all set up but I do want to travel and learn all I can. Had a letter from H.B. and it was one I've been trying to get her to write a long time now. I know now that I have a very good chance & I'm going to take advantage of it and try my best. She was really delighted with the pin I sent her. About 1900E. I called Cookeys but the family wasn't home so I called Aunt Kates at Iberg[[?]] where i talked to Mother. Daddy wasn't there. Mother liked my picture a lot and she also said H.B. was working at Stackpoles now & staying at our house in my room. Bed 2300E.
