They brought out about a hundred girls from Des Moines. But all the are here for us to dance. You can take them walking but you must stay in the light. I just wasn't brought up that way. There isn't a moon or it isn't raining. Get it? I think we will leave in about three or four days. They took a hundred and fifty out today. I think they went to California. If I can't get close to home I hope I go there. It is possible that our company will go to Texas. That won't be so bad. I sure hope we get out of here because we can't leave the grounds. I probably wouldn't find buck anyway. And if I didn't it would be bad. The guard house isn't very far away.
