Thursday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
It happened, here it is open post and little Bobby is a home writing his usual letter. They stuck me on K.P. and I finished up this afternoon. Naturally with open post from 10 to 10 I didn’t go. However, because of the fact that I was on K.P. today I get to go from 10 to 10 tomorrow so I’m going to get my open post anyway. The only thing I dislike about it is that all my buddies went today and tomorrow I’ll have to go alone. I don’t really mind though as I’ve gone to town alone before and had wonderful times. I can do it again.
I got paid today; my first pay as an aviation cadet. I received a grand total of $76.84. I’m going to send a money order home to you when I get into town tomorrow. I have over $90 in my pocket now and I don’t want to carry that much around with me; then to I don’t get much chance to spend it. Imagine I’ll send home around $30 as there is no telling when I will get paid next. I owe you $20 from back a bit. Use the rest as part of the money needed to buy my Christmas present. Will you please use these things as I want you to do it. Don’t go buying Christmas presents for me out of your own money. For as you know I have all I need plus a little extra to send home once in awhile and I want the Christmas presents to come from me even though I don’t buy them.
I am going to a U.S.O musical show tonight called Flying Colors. It is supposed to be pretty good so I imagine I will enjoy myself very much.
Well that’s all for now. I’ll write Saturday as tomorrow I will be in town.
Love
Bobby
