Thursday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
I’m dead tired tonight. I guess the lack of sleep in the last few days has caught up with me. I’d sure like to lay down on a comfortable bed and get some uninterrupted sleep. I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t sleep in the daytime. For try as I may I can’t sleep for more than two hours at any one time. Something is going to have to be done about it but I don’t know just what. I’m going to catch a few extra hours sleep tonight as I need it.
They went and did it today. 20 of our men were transferred to the fourth field hospital. The fourth is going to move out for overseas duty on or about Sept. 15. They were short a few men so our boys did the filling in for them. This darn outfit is just the scrape goats for everything and every other outfit in the camp. It sure makes me mad the way we have to have to take the beating. I don’t know if that will break up our outfit or not. I can’t figure out what is going around here and there seem to be no rhyme or reason behind it at all. Things are just in the biggest mess you ever saw in your life. The boys that left this morning were notified on the spur of the moment. So anything can happen from here on in.
I’ve been rather down in the dumps today. I try not to get that way but I just can’t seem to help it. I think that it is that I have nothing to look forward to except working on this darn ward. I’d sure like to have a little time off. As it is the blues just sneak in every once in a while and kinda knock me down.
I’ve been afraid ever since the shipment of our boys today that I might get transferred over here to this hospital permanently. I hope that it doesn’t come to pass. But the way things have been going around here anything can happen.
I’m going to quit now as I’m not in a very good mood to write a letter. I’ll try again tomorrow.
Love
Bob
