New Years
Eve
Dear Mom +
Dad,
Here I sit
on the dawn of a New Year writing a letter to my folks. Funny what war will do to a person’s life isn’t
it? Last year I went to a little house
party at Don Keefe’s and had a pretty good time. This year I sit in San Antonio, Texas in an
army camp with nothing to do but write letters.
Tomorrow is a regular school day for us except we’re not getting up
until 8AM which suits me just fine.
Last night I
was on guard and since Wednesday night I’ve had exactly 2 hours sleep. As I told you we had the guard cut down to 12
hours but today was a regular day and I’m really tired tonight. I intend to stay up until around 11PM and
listen to the New Year come in, in New York and go to sleep. At least I can dream I was there can’t I?
Today was a
pretty rough day for me as I just about keep awake all day. I feel pretty good now but just a little
tired.
I guess we
are going to have a little food party tonight in absence of a New Years eve’s
regular celebration. Incidentally
(received) my athletic supporter today.
Thank you. I guess I’ll quit
now. Hope you have a Happy New Year and
I’ll be with you in spirit. My best
always.
Love
Bobby
