Sun. Oct. 8

Dear Mom and Dad,

Well, there is not a darn thing new to say so this will be short. I am just dropping a line to let you know I’m fine and thinking of you and home.

The Sarge and I have become very good friends. If it’s possible, he is going to fix it so I can have a couple days pass just before I ship. So I may see you in a couple of weeks. My work up here is starting to pay off.

I have been so hungry for a big steak. I finally got it last night. When we went down for our midnight meal, we found some chunks of beef. So we cut ourselves off some really beautiful steaks. They sure were good.

Well, I hope you and everybody and fine at home. Give them all my love.

I’ll be seeing you.

Love,

Jack
