Moe writes that he received Sylvia's note written on the trail. He writes about his new ranking as T-4. He is now C.Q (charge of quarters) and has to stay up all night so he can change the guard every two hours. Moe also mentions that his distinction is shown on his shirts now and appears more imposing than his old rank.
