Sun. Morn.
To My Dear Sweet Wife,
Well I just
got a big letter from you so I’ll answer it. I may go to a show this afternoon
if I can get a pass. I went to
I’ve still
my pet poison ivy. My legs are all scabs where I’ve scratched them. Maybe after
I get back home I’ll get over it. Boy sometimes I almost dig the hide off.
News here
is scarce. Our problem starts again before long and then we won’t get a pass
for another week. Only 25% is allowed on pass but I think about 90% went. They
would have a heck of a time trying to check up and see who is still around.
Marge why don’t
you go to the picnic? It would do you good. I would like to go with you but I
guess I can’t.
You asked
me who of the boys was still writing. Satchie never
does. Bill J. hasn’t for a long time. Dale N. hasn’t since he left the
continent. Harold _____ and
Honey this
won’t go out before tomorrow and I’m not in the mood to write.
Well Honey
I’m going to finish this now and mail it before 11 A.M. Its 830 now and
we have today off. This is the longest time we have been off since the
maneuvers started. Honey If I’d known everything you could have come down over
this weekend. But I guess it’s too late now. Probably next weekend we won’t
even get off. Tough sh*t.
Well I went
to town yesterday and had a chicken dinner. It wasn’t bad but I’ve had better
chicken. Probably buzzard meat. Then I went to a show.
About all they have here is wild west thrillers and I‘m
not crazy about them.
I got a
letter from pap yesterday. I’ll have to answer that today. It seems so darned
funny not to half to do anything for a change.
Some of the
fellows are still asleep and you very seldom see that out here.
I got some
flashlight bulbs that pap sent or father C. Scott. We didn’t have any and they
will come in handy.
Marge I’ll
have to go and walk telephone lines now. We can’t get all the gun sections.
Someone must have screwed the works up. I’ll be back in a flash. I guess I was
bragging too soon.
Honey here
I am again. Just as good as ever. I guess it might
have done me good to get away from this place. A guy would go nuts if they
didn’t once in a while. Maybe in another month we won’t be on maneuvers.
Honey I got
a great big letter yesterday from you. Anymore If I get two of these pages full
I’m doing good. There isn’t a thing here to write
about. Well Marge if I ever get home I won’t have to write. You won’t either.
If I was home I could love you all I want to and that’s
plenty. Honey when I get home after this is all over I think
Well I’ll
have to get this mailed before long. Be a good little squirt and I’ll be seeing
you. Maybe sooner than you expect.
XXXXXXX
Here’s a kiss that’s not real but
The best I can do under the
Circumstances.
XXXXX
