Monday Morning
Dear Mom + Dad,
It just dawned on me why I didn’t receive your usual Thursday letter yesterday. I imagine at about the time your were in a dither getting things ready to move. Then again it might come in today but I’m not expecting it. I’m going to try and scribble off a few lines.
I have been transferred again to a different place. At 4 oclock I go on duty in the admission tent and dispensary. We take care of getting all the boys in doing a few dressing on wounds, putting them in their proper wards. The officers were not satisfied with the way the place was being run so I was one of the one’s picked to help straighten thing out. Not being conceited at all but they really think quite a lot of me in this outfit. I haven’t done anything to merit it but it still exists.
There is a big rumor going around that ratings are going to be given out again. It is rumored that a lot of the technicians are going to get Corporal T ratings. I don’t know how much truth there is in it but I’m inclined to believe it. Just for one reason and that is because we are supposed to get 90 new men in this week. There is a need for rated men and so I think maybe it will come through.
I went into Camp Young last night for my shower. I also went to the show and saw “You Can’t Take it With You”. It is an old picture that I had seen before but I enjoyed it very much even the second time. At least it was a change from the life I have been living.
How’s the moving coming? By the time you get this letter things ought to be in very good shape. I’d like to get home for awhile but as you know that is impossible.
Well I guess that’s all for now. I’ll write again tomorrow.
Love
Bob
