Friday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
Your letter arrived today and was very glad to hear from you. I’ve been getting a lot of mail for some unknown reason perhaps it is because I’ve been writing quite a lot. I’ve been getting 2 or 3 letters everyday. I enjoy getting them very much and I enjoy answering them. It is nice to hear just what your friends are doing. I enjoy the letters from home a great deal as I still think and dream of the days when I was back in civilian life.
My application for the air corps is all set now and is all set to be shipped out to the higher authorities. I had a talk with a lieutenant today about it. He was quite interested in me. He couldn’t understand that I was only 23 years old and had taught 2 ½ years. It isn’t really so wonderful. Anyway it won’t be long before I’m 24 now.
So you’re getting a lot of overtime work in. It sure must help a lot from the money angle. I’m glad to that you are a rent collector. You must be making money hand over fist now, overtime and landlord.
It is all right to start a bank account for me. It doesn’t seem possible that I could have one. Earning so little money and yet I have a bank account. I think I may be able to send home another ten or so at the end of the month if I don’t spend anymore than I have so far. I still have $26 left from my original $37 at payday. It’s just that I have nothing to spend it on.
Will you find out for me just what I have to do to get an absentee ballot as I can vote in the coming elections. I don’t know how to go about it and I want to vote. I’ve been reading about the Democratic primaries in N.Y in the papers here.
I enjoy reading the paper you sent me very much. It is a very good idea. I think I will write them and give them a few suggestions if I have any spare time. I also heard from Dr Durger again and I intend to answer his letter in the next few days.
I may go into town this weekend. I have the whole weekend off and I can’t make up my mind if I want to go to L.A. or not. I’d like to go next weekend and see the Army All Star football game but I can’t be sure of getting off. I’ll make up my mind tomorrow.
I guess that is all for now. I’ll write again tomorrow.
Love
Bob
