Thursday Afternoon
Dear Mom + Dad,
I’m just about ready to leave for Beaumont Hospital, El Paso, Texas. I’ve just taken my barracks bag with all my junk over to battalion headquarters. I don’t know for sure when we take the train but it won’t be too long now. I imagine that we will hit El Paso sometime tomorrow morning. It is about 480 miles from here and I getting further away from home all the time. I’ll drop you a card tomorrow with my new address. The fellows Vin + Iv are going with me. Ray Puff is taking part of the training period over as he was in the hospital 5 weeks. Your last letter received here last night so they haven’t started to chase me as yet.
We did not get paid today as we were supposed to. I’m practically flat broke. 70c. I don’t know when we will get paid again. Unless we get a supplementary payroll we will not get it until the end of May. I hear the $42 has gone through and is due July 1. I can usually find something to do with it. - Don’t forget to send me a ten spot via airmail as soon as you get my definite address.
I’ll write you again tomorrow.
Love to all
Bob
