<html>                              November - 1917.
12-19.
           Merely another week of idleness
        with no definite [da..e] us to leaving
        time. The more one see of the army 
        the less his opinion is of the ad-
        ministrative end. Seems a crime
        to subject me to such unnecessa-
        ry conditions.  No winter clothing
        yet, barracks all cold & not pro-
        tected from rain adequately.
        Personally expect to see much
        Pneumonia unless conditions
        change.  Ordnance not in yet 
        & if our getting equip is a test
        of supplying men then one
        half [...] will not be outfitted
        for many many months.
        One month on 18" past sailing
        date
19-30.
           To date nothing has occurred that
        might any thing of importance to
        a diary.  Ones impressions of Army
        life & [...] for it gradually 
        wane as he learns more of the inner
        workings & [...] so when compared
        to affairs in [...] life.  The system
        appears alright but [...]
        to its companions abound.  Apparently
        what's everybody's business is nobody's
         business.  We are now practically
         2 mos. past sailing date due to
         unbusiness-like [...] in fur-
         nishing supplies.  Efforts to [...]
         appear pitiful.
                                December
1-8       Mighty happy to have Ditty
         come by on way to Fla.
         Arrived Friday & left following
          Friday night & stop off for short
          visit with Julia [Shirley] a happy
           [..] for me, had toom at
           Park Hotel Lytle.
           Brought along some B & L
           which the boys enjoyed.
           Weather takes quite a change
           Sat. growing much colder
           with wind and snow. Temp 26
           Friday night. much colder
           Sat
