Scope and content:

Addressed to Hochberg at Camp Lejeune, New River, North Carolina. From Private R.H. "Bob" Bolton in Parris Island, South Carolina. Written on Marine Corps stationery. Bolton talks about George's recent misfortune of being moved down a company, but assures him there will soon be others in even worse companies. He describes feelings of depression that come with training, the mix of men in his legion, and how training changes your view of friendship. He mentions a mutual professor of his and George's at Yale, Ray Kennedy, and says he is eager to talk with another one of his protégées. Bolton asks George to send details about what life will be like in Camp Lejeune in terms of workload and free time. He complains of a sore knee and trigger finger from shooting practice.
