Letter #4 from Pt. Scattolon

It's definately getting tougher. I can tell from the general tone of the letter that it is emotionally straining. He says that many soldiers cry themselves to sleep. Some are trying to thing of ways to escape or get discharged. Giampiero is being strong. He knows why he is there, and that it won't last forever.

He is losing weight and getting stronger. They excersize, walk, stand, etc., for hours a day. He gets on average 4 1/2 hours sleep a night. (He's dying for a monster drink.) Giampiero was very excited to get treats at church. It was the first sweet thing he's had in weeks. You know he's a choc-o-holic.
