Monday Afternoon
Dear Mom + Dad,
Your letter arrived today and it came in 2 days which is very good time. I’ll have to note other air mail letters and see how fast they do come. I know my free letters take quite a time but I trust you don’t mind.
The letters you sent me may come in handy in case I go before the board before the others arrive. If I don’t use them I will ship them home to you as requested. Thank you for going to all that trouble for me and I sure appreciate it. I haven’t heard anything yet about going before the board but my guess would be around Wednesday. I’ll just have to wait and see. It is getting rather hard now as I would like to know my fate one way of the other. I’m still praying to make it. It will mean a lot of hard work but it will be worth it as you will have something when you get out.
I wrote a letter to Jimmy to try and get a little dope on just what he is doing. I expect to hear from him soon and that will give me some idea of what to expect when I get there.
I still can’t figure out the purpose of my present organization. The whole outfit is still on paper and no one seems to know its purpose or function. We have no equipment and none seems to be coming to us. We are supposed to go on maneuvers but we have nothing to work with as I don’t see how we are going to do it. I have a hunch the whole “shebang” will be shipped soon and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was overseas. That too will have to wait and see. They sure have this whole outfit all screwed up. My only hope is that the rest of the army isn’t messed up like the medical corps. For if it is we might just as well start having peace conferences right now.
If I’m not ready to leave for Florida this weekend I’m going to borrow some money and take off for L.A. I owe myself a few good times for if I go on maneuvers it will be about 2 months that I won’t even as much as get out of camp. Thus I’m going to have my fun while I may. I still hope I’m taking off for Fla.
I’ll write again tomorrow.
Love
Bob
