Thursday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
It has been just about a week since I’ve heard from you. I know you are very busy with the moving business so I’ll forgive you. I haven’t written much to you lately either. But then I haven’t the time I had before so I guess we are both bad off. As you have probably noticed my daily letters have stopped and I’m afraid they will have to for awhile. I’ll write as often as I can and I know you’ll understand.
I received my absentee ballot the other day and it is already in the mail. I voted straight Republican because of Dewey. I can now sit back and watch with interest as to who will win. I don’t get much news out here in the desert but every once in awhile I get a paper. So at least I get a slight smattering of what goes on but not all the details I’d like to have.
Dad, your Yanks didn’t do so hot did they? I was pulling for them but the Cards really played superb ball and deserved to win although I wanted the Yanks to win.
I think I told you I was changed and put in the admission tent. Yesterday I put in my first day there. It wasn’t bad work at all and it is about the best deal in the whole outfit. So at least I feel a little better about this place than I did working in the wards. I still don’t know what is going to happen to this outfit. The latest rumor is that they are going to ship some of us out on a cadre. That will break up some of this outfit. I know that we have a request in for 90 new men so maybe there is some truth to it. It is so hard to tell. You know how many rumors there have been since I’ve been out here. This place seems to bring them forth as everyone is so anxious to get out of here. I can’t say as I blame them as I’d like to very much myself.
I also told you about me now being a corporal. I’m pleased about it as I can at least feel that I’m making progress. It probably be the last rating I get in the “medics” as when the notification comes through of my being in the air corps I will receive no further ratings. I tried to get stripes in the PX last night but they were all out of them. However I’ll get them and sew them on soon.
Well I guess that’s all for now. Hope you are installed nicely in your new home and that I will hear from you soon.
Love
Bob
