Informs Estelle that has spent the day on the firing range. Criticizes a friend, Zebe, for expressing approval of the war while in practice failing to enlist. In turn, Sidney expresses his respect for another friend, Lew Agnes, for his willingness to sacrifice life, career and friends for his firmness of thought. Speaks of how much his body yearns for Estelle. Writes of how he has had seven days straight of training with no rest, and is due to have thirteen more without an interval. Written at Edgewood Arsenal.
