I'm sorry your sinus cold hangs on. Drink LOTS of water and blow your nose often seems to be the only way to get rid of it. Also go to bed just as early as you can. You don't need to keep the house so shiny - let the cleaning lady take some of that load off of you at the end of the week. They are really piling the work on us now - but as most of it is old stuff to me so far (organization of the army, infantry drill, etc.) I am getting along swell ( at least, as far as I can tell). One of our members, Major Shannon, fell and pulled a tendon in his leg and they had to take him to the government hospital at Battle Creek, Mich. Pretty tough! We had to have our physical exams today. Those who had had them early had to take their papers with them. I was OK except that they gave me a "booster shot" or "stimulating dose" of anti-tetanus. You are supposed to have one once a year. So that is over with. I still get very hungry between meals. Enclosed is a copy of some Air Raid Instructions, which you can show the girls and they can make a copy, if you want it, and return to me right away. Must close. Love and kisses to All. Devotedly your, Daddy
