Manning Monitor article------ 1944

Allan Grage is Very Busy
Dear Sirs:
I am going to thank you for sending me the Monitor. I really enjoy getting it. How is everything back home? I am fine.
I have been very busy; march, lectures, movies and classes. We get up at 5 in the morning and in your bunk at 9 p. m.

We just finished with our rifle range and I had a lot of fun. Tonight I stood guard duty for two hours.
We won't graduate until October 3. So I have a little while in Boot camp.
I must close for now because news is short.
Allan Grage.

Allan Grage, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Grage, who is taking boot training at Farragut, is confined to his bed with scarlet fever.
