Monday Afternoon
Dear Mom + Dad,
When I was just beginning to give up hope of hearing from you your letter arrived. I was very glad to hear from you as it seems quite awhile. At the same time I pulled down 4 other letters. It sure is a shame all at once. While on the subject of mail I’d advise you to save yourself 3 cents and write to me via regular mail. As far as I can figure the time by air mail is only a little short than regular mail. That is, not enough to make very much difference. So I’d use regular mail if I were you. I’ve been getting what mail I have from N.Y. in 3 days and your air mail was almost as long. So save yourself 3 cents.
Brother finally moved. Send me his new address and I’ll try and write to them when I have time. If you see them tell them to write me. I guess Bother will have a tough grind for ten weeks. I think it will probably be worth in the long run though. I’m very much in favor of it.
Thank you for developing the pictures. I didn’t really want that many but I can find use for them. I also will appreciate the cigarettes when they come. I can get to the P.X. now but I can still use them. As far as the money belt is concerned. I don’t want one thank you. One of the boys wanted to give me one and I refused it. As far as the radio I mentioned previously forget it for now. I think I will be able to get into town and pick on up myself this week. If I can’t get one in a few weeks I’ll let you know and you can get me one for Christmas. Thanks for the phone number. I don’t think I’ll get to use it but I have it now in case of an emergency.
My stint of K.P. is now finished and it wasn’t so rough. I had an easy job as a waiter and had it very easy. So I’m not complaining. I feel fine tonight and that is very unusual after a day of K.P. as you’re usually dead tired.
My classification hasn’t come out as yet but it won’t be long now. I expect it in the next few days. At least I’m fairly sure I made it safely.
I’m sending you a little booklet which explains my new life. I think it is very good. It will be forthcoming soon.
Darn it anyway they have just changed our address again. Please note the change on the outside. I hope this time it is correct. We were just notified of it.
I guess that’s all for now as I want to answer the rest of my mail.
Love
Bob
