Diamond describes the three-hour long guard duty that he was on the previous night. He tells Estelle about the inspection that his company underwent that morning. He also writes that he has struck up a pleasant friendship with Carter (the Southern soldier whom Sidney had previously fought with over issues of race), and then proceeds to describe Carter's family. Diamond finally informs Estelle of his "deep dark secret" - that in addition to applying to an officers' training program, he has also applied to enter into the air corps ground crew as a communications man.
