United States Army
Headquarters Company
Fourth Army
Presidio of San Francisco
September 19, 1942

Dear Professor Barclay,

I have just been here a week yesterday and can say that the first period is successfully completed. The basic training period for all members of this unit (which is infantry) is six weeks. After that they are given special duties as clerks or members of the "Bull Gang" (laborers, etc.) I'm sure of making the office, as there is much low rabble in this company; but there is also a large percentage of fine boys and men who are not here to mop floors or wash dishes. After we "graduate," we may go into Fourth Army Headquarters (different from Headquarters Company).
