John Van Hoovenburg,
another Company B boy, is about gone. The men are getting discouraged and to
keep their minds from themselves it is said drilling is to begin to-morrow. The
seed sown on the Arago is bearing fruit now. Something to do is no doubt the
best medicine for us. I know I should die if I laid around and talked and
thought of nothing but my own miserable self.
