Saturday Eve
Dear Mom and Dad,
I arrived here safely yesterday at about 6PM. We have been going thru all sorts of tests, jabs in the arms, inoculations, etc. We didn’t get to bed until after 1PM. At 4PM they woke us up. We had to get up and line up for shipping orders. Of course that didn’t effect us but we had to get up anyway. We expect to be shipped out of here either Monday or Tuesday for some other (see next card) camp. Don’t write to me here as I will not be here by the time the letter will get here. I will drop a card as soon as I get set up in a regular camp. We have our uniforms and stuff. I sent my clothes this P.M. The key to my suitcase is in the little box in my room so you can open it. P.S. its sent collect.
The food is good – my cold is almost gone. I feel good except for being tired. I’ll write you soon.
Love Bob.
