Saturday Morning
Dear Mom + Dad,
Your letter of Tuesday evening arrived last night. Your letters are beginning to come in with
regularity now. It sure is good to get
new from home and to hear from my folks.
Your remarked on some of my friends and of some of the
people I know being nice to me. I find
that I have some real true friends among both people younger and older. It sure makes me feel good to know that I
have made them friends and that they have a sincere liking for me. I’ve always tried to be fair and square and
to treat people decently as I have found it is the best in the end. Now that I am away from these people and they
still write and do things for me I feel that I am amply repaid. It makes one glow all over to know and feel
that people appreciate contacts you have had with them. I hope that doesn’t sound to egotistical as
it is not meant that way.
I have made some good friends in the army and I can
sincerely say that to the best of my knowledge I have made no enemies. I’ve lived with all sorts & all kinds and
have been able to get along without too much friction. That is part of my psychology (darn that word
is hard to spell) of life and I’m happy that I have adapted it. It never hurts to do someone a good turn and
to treat him fairly. I know you agree with me as you are both that
way.
That’s enough of this philosophizing now let’s get down to
more common place things. I am on
barracks guard today until noon.
However, this is one guard that is a good deal. You do nothing but sit in the barracks and
watch the stuff while there is no one there.
Thus I’m getting a chance to write you.
I was supposed to go up into the high pressure chamber today but it has
been put off temporarily. That is a
chamber which they pump air to simulate actual flying conditions at various heights. We go up to an atmosphere of 35,000 ft. Of course you are supplied with oxygen
masks. It will be interesting to do it
whenever the time comes.
Well on Wednesday I become an upperclassman. It will be a fine (to)day as then I can live
with a little peace. Monday is open
still and se have a day off Tuesday is our last of classes.
Well that’s it for now.
All my Love,
Bobby
