Dearest Jack,<br/><br/>You mustn't worry and stress yourself so! If you stop trying so hard, I think things may come just a little bit easier for you. I know that is difficult to do, because you want to be your best, but maybe you are over thinking things? Just try and relax. And I know you're eager for free time on the weekend, but why not use that time to study, so that you're able to get a little more sleep during the week? You shouldn't wear yourself out so bad.<br/><br/>You WILL make it. I have complete faith in you. Just remember why you're there, what you are doing all of this for. This is your dream Jack, don't let anything get in your way or stop you, especially yourself. I wish I could be there to help you. I think about you every day, and pray for you always. So does your mother, and mama. Know that we're here, cheering for you, your own personal fan club.<br/><br/>A lot of soldiers have been moving in to town to oversee operations at Monarch. There must be about fifty or so. All the girls are flirting with them and vying for their attention, but I'm not. I wouldn't want to get involved with someone who could leave at a moments notice. I don't really want to be involved with anyone right now.<br/><br/>I'm just so melancholy today. I'm not entirely sure why. I think I'm missing my best friend too much. We've never been apart from each other like this. I am going down to the lake, sit under the branches of our tree. Hopefully that will help.<br/><br/>Always yours,<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family:  lucida handwriting;">Evie</span>
