Victor’s Journal
Now that I am not in school I try to find productive uses for my time. My second cousin Nick showed me and Lorenzo how to fish and I must say I really enjoy it. I even caught a trout! Papá never took me fishing when I was younger even when I’d ask him. My Abuelo Arturo was a fisherman and now I can see why!
Of course Lorenzo and I continue to remain as thick as thieves. I couldn’t imagine a life without him. We talk about everything together. Even girls, though not for long— no one’s caught my fancy.

Dearest Elsa,
Life at the training camp is about what I had expected. There are plenty of men here, including some of my friends and relatives, both younger than me and about my age. Our camp leader is Sergeant Sebastian Garcon, a strict Frenchman newly arrived in the States. (The French have been fighting this war longer than we have.) Adjusting to military life is different, but I cannot help feeling that my father would be proud of me if he knew that I was training to be a soldier now. When I am not socializing with my brothers in arms, I spend the days writing in my journal or working out to build strength. I hope that you and Victor are well, along with his sweetheart Antonia.
Love, Manuel
