We haven’t done a damn thing
Camp Hood . Texas . U.S.
Hello Ann and Rich,
Got your letter today. Was here yesterday but I had to pay 3 cents to get it so I didn’t get it till today.
The pictures were pretty good. too bad some of them were sorta dark.
We haven’t done a damn thing since I got back, last night we went out and drove black out about 38 miles drove from 9:00 P.M. to 4:00 A.M. darker than hell, some of us got lost from the rest. then we radioed them and they were nearly in camp so we din’t lose any time getting there too. Ha. Ha.
The weather has been warm here every thing is still green.
This week the last bunch is on there furlough.
There is some talk that when they get back they will start giving us 5 more days. So we shall wait see if they do I don’t no what I will do.
I wonder if Leslie Lowe is home yet? Did you see him? How dose he look?
You wrote and wondered what I was doing. I’ve been to bed every night about 9:00 or 10:00 o’clock. there is nothing else to do.
Oh! I forgot last Fri night they had a convoy to go to Gatesville, anybody that wanted to go to a high school football game could go price 25 cents so I went. About 100 or more went. The game wasn’t too good.
Its bed time so good bye
Felix
