Dear mom,
I just got through putting my clothes in the Post Mail Depot so they’ll be on the way or may be even home when you read this.
Tomorrow we leave for the rifle range for three weeks and should you not hear from me as regularly as you have, you’ll know I’m busy with guns (rifles, machine guns, etc.)
I
got your last letter and was glad to hear your health is approximately what it
should be. So Schager is surprised I’m
in the Marines. Well he’s no more
surprised than me. They’re not any
nuttier at
So until the time when I can write you a full fledge letter I’ll hang up.
Take the best of care of
yourself. To bad Donnie’s old mom has to
leave. Thank Mollie for her note to me
and say hello to Frank. He wrote.
Love,
Bun.
P.S. My 1st pay was 15.00 so now I have $22.00 One more pay and I might have train fare if not I’ll let you know what I need.
Bun.
