Saturday Afternoon
Dear Mom + Dad,
I neglected to write to you last night as I just couldn’t seem to find the time please forgive me. I’m going to try and get this off so that it will catch the afternoon mail at 2 P.M. I hope I have no interruptions.
I mailed to you this morning a sketch of me made by one of my buddies. I think it is a very good job. I through you would like to have it. I’m also going to try and get a portrait (photograph) of myself made and send it to you. However I have to get in town to have that done so it will probably be quite a while yet.
I’m enclosing a money order that was sent me by a friend I loaned 5 dollars to back at Camp Young. I tried to cash it here but you have to go through so much red tape and the post office is a mile from where I lived that I gave up. So I’ll shove it off on your shoulder. I’m going to dip 5 dollars out of my $25 reserve to take its place. That means I’ll owe you $20 now as I’m sending you this five. I don’t know when we will get paid but it should be coming out soon. I should receive almost $70 so that will cover all my needs.
Speaking of money I’ve decided what I want for Christmas. As soon as I can get in town I’m going to pick up a radio. I’ll let you know how much it is and you can send me part or all of its cost depending on what I pay for it. That will save you shipping a radio all the way to me. I don’t really want anything else besides that. Let me know if that is agreeable to you.
It is a miserable day here, cloudy and overcast but we have had a nice week all along so I don’t mind. I still can’t get used to seeing rain. As soon as I finish this I’m going to listen to the Army-Navy game. --- I got a long letter from Harold and Marion. Brother seemed very enthused about going to school. I’m going to write to him this weekend as I’ll have a little time to myself. That’s all for now.
Love
Bob
