Dear Pa, 
       I hasten to inform you that one class was divided yesterday, 
according to age, all those above 18, being put in the fourth class,
all those below in the fifth.  My name was read out yesterday before
the Battallion as being in the fourth class.  We pursue the same
course of studies as before.  The fifth class study Elocution, 
Composition, Spanish and German in addition to our course.  I am
getting along very well so far having received about the tenth mark
in the class for the last two weeks.  I did it by very hard study
though.  I am well and in much better spirits that I was before.
My love to all. -----

                                          Your affectionate Son
                                            Wm.G.
