The transport arrived today and he had a load of mail. It was {F3.79} a Godsend for we have been having a hard time to pass the time and now we have magazines, Saturday Evening Post from the Davidsons, Aviation, American and Liberty from Mrs. K. and we have plenty to read and plenty of time to devote to reading. We also received many letters from home. Wish Matt were here to enjoy it with us but he is with the Pygmies and it will be some time before the mail can reach him. Received a nice letter from Glenn. It was after four o’clock in the morning when I finally gave up the mail and the Post. It rained heavily all during the night and made it certain that the transport would not be able to go up stream tomorrow.
