He said the training was more mental than physical and he spent his spare time writing for the school's newspaper. Jim gives his mother a run down of this daily activities at the school. Jim tells his mother that he has not received her letters, but explains that there was a grand reorganization of the International Brigades, so he may never receive some of them. Jim is glad he has been reunited with his friend, John Murra, after Murra's temporary post as interpreter. Jim explains that all his best friends are communists; they make the best soldiers and the best men. He says that he has received three letters from Walter Kerr who has encouraged Jim to write a few pieces about Spain. Jim thinks he will hold off until he sees some action.
