Saturday Morning
Dear Mom + Dad,
I neglected to write to you yesterday so I’m sending this out air mail today for that reason and because I’m leaving. It is now about 11 AM and at 1 P.M I leave camp here for San Antonio. I’ve been running around all morning getting packed and so forth and now have a few minutes to scribble off a few lines. I turned in practically all of my equipment. There is a mess up on my records somewhere but I hope in the end everything will turn out all right. It usually does so I’m not worried. I got all my clothes back from the cleaners and salvage so I can leave with that off my mind.
I went into Palm Springs last night as a final goodbye to this place. I had a very good time and arrived here in camp at about 2 A.M. I was a little tired until I took one of our special deluxe Camp Young showers. They are ice cold and I mean cold. So after getting out of there I woke up and felt like a new man. So here I am writing to you and all ready to go. I’m looking forward to the trip. Of course I go a little east of here. I expect to pull in San Antonio about Monday. I will be the closest to home I’ve ever been since I left Upton. Only about 2200 miles. However you can make N.Y. in a little over 2 days and a lot easier than from here. I don’t know why I’m worrying about coming home as I don’t think I’ll get there for quite awhile. But as least I’ll be a little closer to home than I am now.
I received your Tuesday night letter and was glad to hear from you. If you don’t mind I’ll close now as I’m a little on edge with all this moving and stuff. I’ll get in touch with you as soon as I possibly can and let you know my new address. Until I arrive at San Antonio then
Love
Bob
