Wednesday Afternoon
Dear Mom + Dad,
If you could only see me now. I’m laying on my cot writing with nothing on but my shorts. I sleep out here in the open and at night it is really beautiful. The stars and everything. I don’t mind it at all. Last night it got really cold out here. I thought I was going to freeze. 1 blanket under me and 3 over and I was still cold. The weather has taken a sudden change in the last few days. The nights have been cold and the days just warm enough to be nice. If it would only stay this way it would be swell.
Something is messed up on our mail. Today at mail call there wasn’t one letter for anybody in the outfit. When there is not one letter for 125 men something is screwy. I haven’t heard from you in a long while. Your usual Sunday letter is overdue now. But I attribute it all to some oversight on the part of the mail system. Probably one will come tonight.
Last night I went into shower and to the show. I saw Sonja Henie in “Iceland”. It was very good and I enjoyed it very much. It does you good to go to the movies as it rather changes your perspectives. Last night when I went in I was feeling a little blue but after the show I picked up a great deal. I feel pretty good now about the whole mess.
We are getting rid of all our patients in preparation to moving back to Camp. We are going back to Young a few days at least. I don’t think we are going to stay there very long. I guess we’ll still remain in the desert though in some other spot. Maneuvers I hear are going to continue so we will probably be servicing them somewhere. I’ll be happy if I can get over to L.A. and Hollywood again. I need that touch of civilization after wasting away here so long.
Well hope I hear from you soon. If I do I’ll write in answer to it right away. If I do miss you for a few days it will be because we are moving.
Love
Bob
