Friday Noon
(letter not dated but envelope was post marked)
Dear Mom and Dad
I thought I would write you a lie so you would get it by Monday.
I found out this morning that we will leave here at 3 pm Tuesday and go to Stememan. There we will have time off. I will have seven days. Almost all the guys are going home. We are going to try and get a hop on a military flight. If we can't we I am stuck.
Margie is coming out today. If I had know before this I would have told her not to come out. I am sure mad about the whole thing.
Do you think you will sell my car this week? If you do call me and I may have you send me the money to get home if I don't get a hop. I hate to spend that time out here.
I have been getting your mail ok. I should get about 120 dollars when I check in at Stoman. That is a month and half pay. They wont give it to me unless I check in and if I check in I'll have to wait till the 31st to get all of it.
I hate to see Margie spend all that money to come out but I didn't think I would be coming home at the time. I am sure fed up with the way the army does things.
I better close now. Let me know something. I'll leave here some time Tues afternoon. If you can call Monday night.
Love, Ted
