Friday Morning
Dear Mom + Dad,
I didn’t get around to writing last night and I now have a few minutes, here goes. It is now 6:15 in the morning and I’ve already had my breakfast, made my bed and cleaned up. You get up at 5:15 in this darn place and got to bed at night at 9 P.M. Even though you get up early you go to bed early too so it isn’t so bad.
I take my recheck today on my eyes. All the rest of my exams are over. I can’t tell just what is going to happen to me. This morning may clarify the situation and then again it might not. I may get several checks as I’m so close that they may give me a break. It’s hard to tell just what the score will be but I think this morning should clear it up a little.
I rather expected to hear from you by this time but as yet I’ve had no mail except back DEMY mail. I’m not alone as none of the boys that came in with me have received mail direct either. I suppose it will come in due time. Probably the mail will be worse than in California. Oh well it can’t be helped.
You should hear the loud speaker system here. Every morning and evening it plays records for us. It wouldn’t be bad except for the fact they play the same darn records over + over again. Naturally they get a little tiresome.
I miss not having my radio too. If you could pick up a small second hand one for me, I’d pay for it. I’d buy one out here but I don’t get the chance to get out. I want a small one which will be easy to carry and I don’t want to pay very much for it. You see the radio takes an awful beating as you travel around so much. I’d take mine at home except that it is too clumsy. So if you find one for less than $10 buy it and send it to me. You had better wait until I get straighten out though as I may move out of here.
That’s all for now it is about time to fall out.
Love
Bob
