Moe writes that they will probably be in Fort Lewis until August 1. He also mentions that if Sylvia wants to come visit, she should make her plans quickly, and know that she may not get back on time. He advises her to think things through and not just drop everything for him since she will not get paid for this vacation. He says she should ask her father for money. He also mentions that as time goes on, he is "strangely adjusted" to the idea of going overseas.
