Wednesday Aft.
Dear Mom + Dad,
Enclosed you will find a clipping telling about my place. When you read it you will find that maneuvers are due to start again next week. The clipping gives you some idea of the things the boys have to go through.
My first night at the hospital found me in very bad shape. I took sick and vomited up my supper. I spent most of the night laying in bed feeling lousy. I still don’t feel right yet and I just came back from sick call. The doctor said it was a lack of salt and gave me salt tablets to take. I’m beginning to feel a little better now. It is really nothing serious. I have no temperature but just have a lazy feeling. I haven’t been able to eat anything today. I’ve been drinking milk and fruit juices. I’ll snap out of it soon now. So don’t worry about me.
The work in the hospital won’t be hard as we have only 10 patients in our ward now. However when maneuvers start again I imagine there will be a pick up. Our outfit is not needed over there really but we are there. As I told you I don’t like waiting on anybody and that’s just about what the job is. Then too 12 hours a day seven days a week is no picnic. I’ll sure be glad when we get shipping orders to move out of here. Nothing will please me more.
Your letter arrived today and was very glad to hear from you. I’m sorry you have to work so hard but what can one do about it. I bet you’ll really appreciate your vacation this year. I hope you have a good time I know you deserve it.
I‘ll probably send some money home again soon as we get paid on Monday. I won’t need money working seven days a week. I imagine I’ll be stuck in the hospital until October or whenever maneuvers end. If I ever get to a decent camp I’ll have a good time as I’ll have money to spend.
Well that’s all for now. I’m trying to keep the old chin up as best as possible. My stay here can’t be to long now. Just about 2 more months. It is cooling off a lot around here lately. The nights are especially cool. I’ll write tomorrow.
Love
Bob
