to her and Sid.  She said nothing about their trip in her last letters however.

This is vacation week and I have been hating myself most of the time.  Sunday I went up to Camp Devens to see Date and never, never put in such a day, it seems.  The desolation of the place is something awful.  I took the 9.10 train - stepped on the last car just at it was about to start - and could not get away until 4.43 although I really think we pulled out by 4.30.  We walked and walked and walked and then some.  I was so lame the next day I could not walk naturally. 

Date went home a week ago yesterday evening getting back Friday night when he called me up.  He wanted me to go up with him again this week but I told him my regular vacation came in June so he says I have got to come then.  He simply can't keep still, he has to be jumping around all of the time.  I think it is suppressed excitement he is so anxious to get home for good.  I don't think that I shall get a grandstand seat after all as he is of course very anxious for his father, mother and favorite sister to come down, so I think I shall just take my chances with the crowd.  Can't we plan to be together?  I don't want you to give it up.

I was planning to come out this vacation
