Matthew's Letters Home
This is the eighth letter home from Matthew.  The handwriting is considerably neater, though transcripts still appear at the bottom.  This is page one of four.
Hey Everyone,                                                                   31 August 2001

     Well, since a few people have complained about my poor handwriting I am making an effort to make this letter legible.  Anything to please my fans =)  Please keep in mind that I have gone through 7 weeks of hard Basic Training; Honestly my handwriting isn't the biggest of my worries.

     Health wise I am doing much better since my last letter.  I kept the IV in the whole time, and was able to retuen to training after only a day or so more.  I am starting to get a lot bigger now, both  weight wise and muscle wise.  The small pants are finally fitting right, and it is my guess that I will be a medium by the time I'm done.  Woohoo, maybe some of the scrawney jokes will finally let up.  I can at least hope anyways.  I am also starting to get some upper body strength, something which is slightly foreign to me.

     We did the confidence course the other day.  It was actually pretty fun this time without my wrist bothering me so much.  I've been wearing an ACE bandage on it which seems to help a lot.  However it is really dirty and looks kind of gross =P
