Thursday
Dear Mom + Dad,
I didn’t work last night. I went to sick call about 6:30 and the doctor told me to stay in my tent and rest. Thus I was excused from duty. I feel a lot better today but have undergone a new development. I’ve got a rash that I think is the hives. The doctor gave me some powder to put on them this morning but they still itch. I guess my system is just out of order. However outside of the rash I feel pretty good and I’ll have to go to work tonight again.
Somebody took my place on the ward last night and they have changed around. I’ll probably be working in a different ward when I go back tonight. It is my hope that I get transferred to days but I’ll have to wait until tonight to find out.
I still feel rather depressed. I don’t like the hospital work and I know I will have no time off so it makes me feel blue. I just have nothing to look forward to. The only thing I can set my hopes on are that maneuvers will be over in October and then probably we will ship out. But then that is two months away. Oh well I guess I will survive everything. It helps my mental attitude a lot to be feeling better. Things seem a little brighter then they did the other day when I was feeling real sick. I guess everything will turn out all right in the end. I know for a fact my morale will pick up when we ship out of here.
I haven’t heard anything as yet from my application for the air corps. I probably will soon as it was shipped out right after I turned in the office. I hope I can make it.
I was looking at a folder the other day on the O.C.S. for chemical warfare. The proposition looked very attractive. I had all the qualifications including college chemistry. The school is in Maryland which is very nice to. I might give that a try the next time I apply. However, that is still two months away.
I guess that covers the news for today. I’ll write again tomorrow.
Love
Bob
