another letter from him? It's his 3rd week this week. How often do they get to write? Will I get another letter from him this week?
 
Ok, first, this hour of "free time" isnt really free time, it's the hour before taps. In this hour you need to shyt shower and shave, square your nasty ass away for tommorrow. that means shine your boots, press your cammies (not yet for him anyway, that comes later). He has litterally like 10-15 minutes left. He might get off a letter to you, he might not, maybe he'll write his mom next, sister....crap no time tonight, have to do it tommorrow. I had to sneak a flashlight with a red lens under my blanket and pillow to get a letter written. And that was at GREAT PERSONAL RISK if caught.
 
He is given 1 hour each night of free time and 4 hours on Sunday morning.

This is when he can write, BUT if he has other things to do such as hygiene, studying, or squaring away his gear then that comes first.

I can not tell you what he does with his free time. Maybe he wrote to you, maybe he did not.

The ideal way is for you to reply to his letter and then he will reply to that one and so on.
