Time 9:30. Augsberger tells Ardena that he has been working very hard and wants to tell her about the place he is in but he can't. He asks that she have patience and promises to tell her everything when he returns. He also tells her she can send all the pictures she wants of herself, and specifically asks for a picture of her in a bathing suit. Toward the end of the letter, he tells her something that he asks her to keep private: "Darling this is for you to know and no one else. I soon will be of age to do as I please. So when I come home we can get married without no body's permission." He sends his love and kisses in his sign-off.
