Summary:
Complaining about having K.P. for three days; noting that K.P. "is a lark, compared to [Camp] Croft. People stray in and pay calls, if there's any spare time you can sit down ..., you keep going to the ice-box and snitching food, and you get off before ten o'clock. But it still means being in the kitchen fourteen hours"; giving news of other soldiers named John Dollard, Bill Kenyon, and Smitty.
