August 24, 1942 - Disgusted



Monday Eve.

Dear Mom + Dad,

I’ve been feeling rather disgusted today. It is just a case of this place getting on my nerves and the work we’re doing, doing the same. I’ll snap out of it soon.

As I told you before maneuvers are called off. It is rumored around that they have been called off all over the country. If that is true it means that this country is getting ready to go into action. As a lot of these outfits on maneuvers were tabbed for overseas duty as soon as maneuvers were over. It means that they will ship them out sooner. The news seems to point to us opening up somewhere. I sure hope so as I want this mess to get over and the sooner the better.

The latest thing to happen around here is that now only 15% of the company can go out on pass at one time now. That allows about 25 men out of our outfit to go out at once. I was thinking of giving up going out now I know I am.

I’m in no mood to write a letter so I’m going to quit. O.K.?

Love
Bob
