Monday
Evening
Dear Mom +
Dad,
Your letter
of Tuesday arrived today and I was very glad to hear from you. It is the first letter I’ve had direct here
and it seems I've been waiting quite some time to hear from you. I've been writing as often as I get a
chance. Of course, my letters are shorter
and not as they should be but because of lack of time. You understand.
Your picture
of sitting by the fireplace and write to me sounds wonderful. I've always wanted one in my house and now
that I have one I can’t enjoy it. Maybe
the day will come when I can enjoy it soon.
Let’s hope so.
You spoke of
Father Leeming, well he sent me a letter today and a copy of the St. Peter’s
school paper. It was very nice to hear
from him and I will answer when I get time.
It helps to keep up the contacts I had as I may find a need for them
when I get out of the army. It is always
well to be in peoples good graces and I always try to keep it that way. At times especially in the army it is rather
trying but I have always tried to. I
find it pays in the end.
My life is
running along in a more or less regular routine. It gets on my nerves once in a while as we
are subset to a constant grueling all day long.
However I’m holding up very well and most of the time I’m in pretty good
spirits. It is a rough road to hoe and I’m
trying my best. Thank goodness, the
actual school work is rather easy and that takes a great load off my mind.
I heard from
Jimmy today and it sure was good to hear from him. He can’t tell where he is but he hinted that
he is in South America and I figure around Brazil. He says it isn't bad and I’m glad to hear
that.
I also have
a slip for an insured package but I haven’t had the time to get it. I imagine it is from Brother. I’ll get it and thank the responsible persons
in the morning.
I’ll also
try to write to Dick Clarke as soon as I find a little time. We are off Wed. and may do it then.
The pictures
I sent you contain a buddy of mine Abe Gothelf and Leo Kritsick. Leo is the tall on about 2 in. taller that I
am. Leo is also the one that sketched
the picture I sent you. I don’t see Leo
much as he is in a different squadron.
However Abe and I get together quite often. Both of them very nice boys.
Well that’s
all I have time for now!
Love
Bob
P.S. This
stationary was given to me by Mom Gatrien.
Nice isn't it?
