This episode centers on the correspondence from an U.S. Army Captain deployed in Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan.

We had roast chicken for dinner today.  Sure was good.  Geo and I ate all we could.  Then at three this afternoon we ate baked potatoes.  Our stove in the living room has an oven, so it is no job to bake them at all.  Well by supper time neither of us could eat.  And it is about nine o’clock now, we still aren’t hungry.

This afternoon I saw Major Brown about the provisional battery they are forming.  All the batteries except HQ are coming to my town and I’m to command this battery.  In it will be 28 jeeps, 28 6x6, and 9 ¾ ton trucks.  About ten times too much transportation.  Well that is my job for tomorrow.  So I’ll be quite busy again.
