Saturday Eve.
Dear Mom + Dad,
Just a short note again. I’m in the U.S.O. waiting for Cottrell to write a letter to his girl friend so I decided to write too.
I have just finished eating a good meal downtown. There is one nice restaurant in El Paso and I get a kick out of having a good meal once in awhile anyway.
I don’t know what we’re going to do tonight. I think possibly we’ll go over and look over Mexico again. It is rather dead around here and on Saturday nights the U.S.O. dances are crowed up to the hilt and you can’t have much fun.
Today is my anniversary - four months in the army today. I guess I’ll have to celebrate a little tonight. I’m out on borrowed money as I went broke last night by spending my last 25c on milk and pie. I’m just waiting for that half a hundred.
How’s Nana? I presume my little notes had the opposite effect for which they were intended. I feel that I ought to do it so I hope it isn’t too hard on you.
Have you heard how Mary Ryan is? I understand she is in the hospital with appendicitis. Will you try and find out for me
I guess that is about all for now. I’ll write tomorrow if I get real ambitious.
Love Bob
