Winfred tells Margaret he has been too busy to write; this school is rough = need an 85% average to graduate; hasn’t done much but go to school – not even left camp (but there are a lot of WAC’s there to help keep them occupied); feels fine; weighs 182; drinks chocolate malts and eats steak each night – she ought to try it; wishes they would hear from Cliff – guesses he’s in the midst of it now; no Yuletide spirit there; will get a furlough after finishing school; then stationed on a coast (easier to get overseas from there); closes and wishes all a merry Xmas.
