January 3, 1944 - Censoring Mail

 


January 3, 1944

Dear Mom + Dad,

               Since I wrote you that long airmail letter I dropped my daily letter. I'm going to continue using the mail for a while anyway and we'll see how it works out.  One of these days they're really going to just put me to work and then I'm not going to like it. The only thing I do is censor mail for a few hours every two or three days and the rest of the time it is my own. It has meant a good rest for me and I've been rather enjoying it. If it was only possible to catch up on back time I would be making up for the schedule I labored under when I was back in the states. I don't know how long my vacation is going to last but I'm afraid it won't be long enough, so I am making the best of it now. I don't expect my mail to catch up with me for a few more weeks but when it does come it sure will be welcome. Almost a month now and no mail has come my way. I was in town as usual last night and as there was no dance I drank beer in the pubs. I took a night off the other night and stayed home and read a book. I believe I will do the same thing tonight, and just plan relax. This is the end of the page. That's all for now.

              

 

All my love

Bob
