Would write oftener, only the scarcity of news and being constantly in the same environment restricts the interest in his letters. Tells of some of the privileges of being a second classman. His studies are calculus, French, astronomy, infantry tactics, seamanship, and theme writing. However, he is not too interested in his studies, as he does not think they will do him any practical good. Tells of his trip East and visiting with his brother Alfales at college in Ann Arbor, Michigan. At Troy he stayed a day with Carlos and tells of friends and relatives he met while in New York. His health is good, but his feelings are not, as he would like to resign, but knows his sense of duty will make him stay.
