Sunday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
I’m all set for a tough week this coming week. Worst of it all it is that my turn on K.P came up today and I had to work on my day of rest. Tomorrow morning at 7 o’clock we start our bivouac finally by walking twelve miles.
I had a pretty fair time at the U.S.O. dance last night. I wrote you a card last night from there which you’ll probably get before this letter. I met a nice girl last week but she didn’t show up this week and I was disappointed.
As I told you in the first paragraph our bivouac starts rain or shine. The weather today has been raining on and off and it will sure be nice to go out in the mud. But then it might be clear. And when its clear there is nothing nicer than a Texas evening. I guess it won’t be so bad. We return on Wednesday which makes only three days instead of four as originally scheduled.
Thursday we check in our field equipment which means nothing to do. On Friday they are going to pay us a half months salaries. You see shipments start after Saturday and they don’t want to send anyone out broke. Of course a lot of them will lose it all in a crap game but then it is a nice gesture.
Saturday we are supposed to have graduation exercise. I thought I was all through with them but I’m getting another one. Oh well I guess I can stand it. I hope I don’t have to buy a cap + gown. I think this is one place I’m going to really enjoy graduating from.
I don’t know as yet where or when I’ll be shipped but it will be any time and anyplace after Saturday. I’ll notify you as soon as I start to move.
I’m tired so I’m going to bed. Give my regards to Nana + Marion, Harold + Lee Adair
Love Bob
