Sunday May 30

My Darling Wife 10:15

This is the first Sunday I have spent on this camp that really seemed like Sunday. I got up about 7:45 and went to no. 4 mess hall (where you ate dear) and had breakfast. It was the best breakfast I have had on this field. I had pig sausage, hotcake, dry cereal, doughnuts, and an orange. Then I came back and turned my laundry in and straightened up my suit case, and cleaned up everything in general. I have my own little house- cleaning every few days. Most of the fellows came home last night. All the base was off last night so everyone had to be fed this morning. They had to mess halls open and they were really busy. We didn’t have to march or take calisthenics or anything. It is almost like being at Pecos. Of course we have to be in bed at 1:45 today because we have school tonight. I hope we have Monday evening off as we are supposed to when we change shifts. About three of us are planning on renting a car and driving out to Ashland to see the fellows there.

Yesterday after finishing your letter we went to Daltons and had waffles and bacon. There are quite a few nice kids in this barracks and I went to town with two of them. One of their names is Robert Smitz. He is a small kid and is married. His wife is in Calif. His house is in Calif. but he is originally from Montana. We rented a 1940 ford sedan about 6:30 and just drove around town enjoying ourselves. When it got dark enough so that we needed lights we noticed that they weren’t working so we went back to the garage and told the fellow. He didn’t know what was wrong so I was in my glory. I got a light from him and I began snooping around. I found the trouble and had it fixed in a enough minutes. He was surprised and wanted to know if I had learned that at school here. I told him that I knew a little about cars long before I even came here. I washed my hands and then we left again. We went out to a place called Capitol Beach. There is a skating rink, dance floor, and all the things that a carnival has. Walked through it a couple of times and left. It was around twelve and we wanted to get the car back. I don’t know where the “Beach” was; at last I didn’t see any.

We took the car back and it only cost $5.13 about 1.6 cents a piece. We got a bus and came home then. I know what you are thinking. That we picked up some babes and had a wild old time but we didn’t. We spent a bachelors evening. Just minding our own business and that’s all.

I forgot to tell you about how my sunburn bothered me. After eating at Daltons I just had to get something for it so I went to Walgreens and got some Moxema. I took it to the USO and put some on my chest. It soothed it a little and felt much cooler. I really had a crowd around me in the USO restroom. Everyone was dumbfounded at how bad I was burned. Honestly dear it was actually crimson. Its still slightly red and sore. The sun isn’t out today but I wish it was so I could get my back burned a little.

Ill just lie around and take it easy today. I may play a little soft ball if enough of the fellow will play.

I’m getting the coke habit dear, we only had about four in the past day or so but I feel like I want them all the time. The only thing that stops me from having too many is my budget.

Some fellows are shipping out of here to Balling in Seattle at 1:00 today. Gosh darling why couldn’t I be that lucky. If I don’t get sent to school before I graduate I don’t know just where will go. I haven’t taken my gunners exam yet and I’m not going to tell them about it. I would sort of like to go to factory school for 40 days and than see what sort of field I _, and where. I guess time will tell wont it dear.

I’m not sure if mail will be delivered today or not, but if it does I will probably save it to answer tomorrow.

Darling don’t you get peeved because I drove around town. I still haven’t been around as much or stayed out as late as you have. I love you so much darling that you don’t have to worry about me being bad

Ill say good-bye for now my dear and maybe ill have some mail on my bed when I get back. If I don’t, I will go ahead and mail this

All my love dearest

Your husband

Glenn

p.s. how are my free letters coming thru dear? If they are too long, Ill send them a.m.
