Wednesday Afternoon
Dear Mom +
Dad,
Well today
is the day for our open bill and I have a little time to myself. I’m trying to catch up on all my correspondence
and write a few words to you. Tonight I
go on guard so part of our day is ruined.
They have changed the guard from an all day affair to just night which
helps considerably. I’m on post from 9
to 11 and 3 to 5 and then back to the old school routine. It will mean that I will lose the better part
of a night’s sleep but at least we’re not on guard all the next day too.
I’m down in
the dumps today a little as the old routine is getting on my nerves again. It just seems to pile up on you and then you
feel bad for awhile. It won’t be long
now before I become and upperclassman and then I can have a little time to
myself. It will sure seem good.
I finally
found time to get my cigarettes Brother and Marion sent from the post
office. Will you please relay my
appreciation to them as really lately I haven’t had time to write to
anyone. I’ll write myself personally and thank them but for
time being will you convey my thanks.
Well I must
close now. I’m just not in the mood to
write. Think of me once in a while. I guess what I need is a little furlough as I’m
awful homesick right now. Oh well it’s
just a whim I’ll get over it. Tomorrow
will bring a different perspective on things.
Write soon.
Love
Bob
