Point Lookout Light Dear Editor: Everything down here at the Point is the same as usual, sort of monotonous but it is nothing com- pared to what some of the others put up with. I don’t know what has happened but I haven't receiv- ed a Post in over six weeks, and I really do miss it. I hope the reason for the delay can be cor- rected as there isn’t anything to take the place of the “Post” and its hometown news. It is mail time and I will close for now and write a longer letter next time." Thanking you for all the Posts I've formerly received.

Until a couple weeks ago I had the im- pression that the Louisiana pur- chase was a good deal but now that I have lived in some of the territory, I think we got hooked.

I was introduced to the mess sergeant the first week of my train. ing and have had many long visits with him since. He is slightly ec- three times every hour.
