Thursday
Dear Mom + Dad,
Your letter arrived today and I was sure glad to hear from you. I have been writing daily as you know. The reason you’ve been getting one or two on the same day is because of the departure of the mail from here. The last mail leaves at 1:30P.M and if you miss that of course it goes out the next morning. Then too I’ve been sending air mail out and they get thru much faster. I’m going to continue writing everyday as long as I have the time. I know you want to hear about me and it also helps me pass the time away.
Thank you very much for trying to cheer me up. I’ve completely recovered now from the disappointment. As I told you yesterday at present I’m working on the air cadet angle. Now that I have the idea of O.C.S in my head I can’t get it out. I’m going to try again even if I don’t make the air cadets. I like the idea of the air force as they have the best of everything for their men. It will be a life I will enjoy more than my stay in the medical corps. I have confidence that I can make it. I made mistakes before the examining board that I won’t make again. Perhaps the next time will be a different story. I sure hope so.
I understand that next week we are going back to classes again. I have only spent four months learning the work but I will have to take it all over again. Perhaps one of these days I’ll know enough about this junk to be able to do it. It sure is a shame that they waste our time so. Oh well, I can’t do anything about it.
As yet the cigarettes haven’t arrived but they will be in soon I trust. I appreciate your sending them. If you wish you can send me some peanuts cookies or stuff like that. Don’t send anything with chocolate as it will be goo by the time it gets here.
I guess that’s all for now. I’ll write tomorrow.
Love
Bob
