On training exercise, GTK leading tank attack. Very good food both in the field & in the barracks. Concerned about CSK’s ‘defeatism’. His CO gave a dinner the nigh before at which GTK had several drinks. ‘Ashamed of myself.’ Shared a jeep preceding Saturday with 2 enlisted men from Lubbock, TX. Their description of the country made GTK want to see it. Listening to’The Mikado’. Wants cSK to meet Fran Dittmann who graduated Vassar. She & Carl expecting in Dec. Bobby Jackson father of a boy.
