Tuesday
Dear Mom + Dad,
Your letter came yesterday after I had written to you so I’ll answer it now. As I told you I have been writing everyday as it helps to pass my time away. I know you don’t mind if I do that.
I finally signed the payroll today for the first time since I’ve been here. I will get paid on the 10th of August. I don’t know for sure just how much it will be. It should be about 90 or 100 dollars.
I’m going to send as much as I can spare home. I’d appreciate it if you could keep it in reserve. Perhaps I can build up an account for my next furlough, if and when. I don’t really need so much money here as I can only get off to L.A. once in awhile to spend it.
You can send me those cigarettes anytime you like. It doesn’t look as if I’m going to move for awhile yet anyway. I’d sure like to but there is no notice of it yet. I’ll just have to wait and hope for some break.
I’m so glad that you finally obtained a nice home. I know just about where it is and I imagine it is swell. I sure hope you can move in soon. I’d like to be home to help you move but I trust you can manage. It is about time that you had something. It makes me feel happy to know that at last you are getting something I know you wanted. Let me know all the details when you move and get set up.
I’m getting more and more disgusted with this outfit everyday. I’m of no use to my country being here. I sure wish they would send me where I could be of some help. It is a shame the time that is being wasted on us. I want to get this war over and return to a civilized life again. I can’t understand all this delay on this countries part. We’re ready now and yet they refuse to do anything about it. On well what’s the use of griping it doesn’t get me anywhere. It just gets under my skin and it helps to let off a little steam once in a while.
That’s all for now. I’ll write later.
Love
Bob
