Dear Mom & Pop:

Just a few lines to let you know that I’ll be home this weekend. I’ll be home about 8:00 or 9:00 in the evening instead of late. Yesterday I was transferred to a day job, as now I live just like a normal person. This place that I’m at now is way the other side of town and is like about an hour or more I come and go to work. It’s where they handle all the classified material for communications. They give you a badge to hang around your neck and you have to have it showing at all times. It’s not a job that I love but I love to get up at around 5:30 in the morning. I used to get up around 9:30 or 10:00.

Well I can’t write much now as it’s pretty busy, so I’ll see you this weekend. All my love.

Alfred
