Summary
Writing that "the trip down wasn't so bad"; telling her that "a very pleasant paper salesman rode as far as Richmond with [him], buying [him] drinks and lunch and keeping up an intelligent conversation"; remarking that "coming back to the army wasn't as bad as [he] thought it would be"; commenting on "the satisfaction of knowing that two people can be separated for five months without losing touch with one another at all"; wondering if he should look for "a public relations job" in the military.
