Received a letter night before last. Have not had much time to sleep. Happy to receive mail; "had it not have been for that barrel, I should not have been here now." "Living pretty hard" at the moment. Have built log huts. Very cold while standing guard. Asks for new boots and emphasizes just how much he wants them. Fireplace in the camp reminds him of his fireplace at home. Asks to hear about the quarry. Asks for stamps, paper, and "a little hunk of black thread."
