December 26, 1942 – “Fair Time But Didn’t Do Anything Exciting”



Saturday Evening

Dear Mom + Dad,

I have just a few minutes so I’m going to write a few lines to you anyway. I got a pass to go to town as I told you in my Christmas day letter. I had a fair time but didn’t do anything exciting. It was a relief to get away from here for a while. I can’t say as it helped me though as I was a little down in the dumps today. I managed to snap out of it this evening and now I feel better.

I hope you get the telegram I sent you. I couldn’t express greetings as that is against their regulations. I tried to convey my wishes for the day and yet keep it out of the greeting class. At least you got the idea that I wanted to convey.

I received a card from Leota and in it was a dollar which she wanted me to buy cigarettes with, which I will. I just finished writing to her and thanking her. It was really swell of her.

I caught up on my correspondence a little today. I just write short letters now as I haven’t the time for anything else. I guess it is better to receive a few words than none at all. I’m still not caught up but almost.

Well I’ll have to close now as it is getting late. I’ll try + write more tomorrow.

Love
Bobby
