July 2, 1943

Dear Mother,

This will have to be a more or less a quickie as I have some work coming up. I’ll just hit the bare surface and promise more tomorrow. I’m afraid if I wait until later in the day the whole mail will be missed and might be late and of course you might say what if it is since it’s no letter at all.

Another of my tent mates is being shipped to a different

[page 2] location so that means someone else will come in – Seems when I get to a place I stay for some time and then all of a sudden I leave, but so far there are no indications of my leaving here but it all happened so sudden at the last place, and th life is getting pretty good here – good food etc – I mean.

Well, I promise to at least try to do better next time.

Love Daddy
