Date: December 31, 1943
Dear Mom + Dad,
I have just finished a stint of
answering mail and believe me that is quite something. As you probably noticed
officers are allowed to censor their own mail so mine is of course untouched. Reading
some of them reminded me of the days when I used to correct kids papers in
school. Some of those were much worse than the stuff my 5th grade kids put out.
I went to town last night and attended a dance there. I met a few chicks and
managed to get a date for tonight on New Year's Eve. I imagine it is going to
be fun starting 1944 with a cute little English chick - the blackouts around
here are really something. There are no lights anywhere after dark and you
ramble around half lost most of the time. I am now just beginning to get on to
the use of British currency which is very much different from our own monetary
system. That's about it for now.
All my love
Bob
