have nothing to do today but
eat and sleep as it is a holiday. We
had a fine dinner which consisted
of chicken, sweet potatoes, peas, oyster
soup, olives & radishes, bread, butter,
gravy, dressing, pie and coffee. We have
plenty to eat all the time. Have been
in Detention now about twelve days.
In nine days or so will be at
liberty and then it will be better. We
want [won't] be tied down so much. It is
still showering on and off today. Hope
it will clear off before long as I
am getting tired of this sloppy weather
Duke will sure lose his bet if
it is raining as much down there
as it is here. Well this is all that
is on my mind this time so "Au Revoir."
Hoping everybody is well I remain
your loving son, Albert Newlove.
