Wed Night
Dear Folks,
Well here I come again. I’ve been doing the same old seventy-six as usual. Supply room, going to the laundry, etc., etc. We have been and will be extra busy getting ready for the range. Besides getting all the thousands of things ready we must take care of getting everybody’s clothing and shoes repaired and all the outfits changed for the correct sizes. Stuff that you can’t wear won’t help a bit when it comes to keeping warm. Another reason that we are extra busy is that the Supply Sgt. is transferring to the Air Corps. He is trying to get everything into top-notch shape before he leaves. I hope that he doesn’t get transferred before I start back to training.
Someone else might not be quite so pleasant to work for.
I’ll bet that you think that the box I said I was going to send got lost on the way. Well it is still in my barracks bag. The only chance I have to mail it is at noon and I have had only or 2 noons free in two weeks. And when I could have done it, of course, it never entered my head. Be patient, I’ll do my best.
I got your roll of Sunday School papers and magazine today. I finished my last Sunday School paper on Sunday so you timed it perfectly.
Well how’s everything back there?
Love,
Donald
