Dear Folks,
Well guess I’ll drop you a line. I’m okay, feeling fine.
Hope you are all well too. I’m still in here It’s not that I’m sick, It’s just
that it’s the way the army is mom. I’d have got out the day after I came in if
they weren’t so G.d. But in civilian life. I’d never have come. Or even went to
bed. But this is the army. Boy, I’ll be glad when this war is over. Maybe I’ll
be old enough to know what I want, a man 60 years old, to the army don’t know
what he wants. Were just a piece of machinery, drove by a bunch of 2 Lt. and
there drove by a Capt. And so on down the line. But hell who care’s. I’ll be
out in another five yrs, anyway, maybe sooner. Did you find out anything about
the car yet. I’d like to get one soon, so I could earn some money for my
furlough. I’ll never have enough otherwise. It’s to hard to save it. But I can
try. I like to go and have a little fun, I go to town about once every 3 or 4
weeks now. Nothing in town unless you have a hundred dollars it’s that way all
over. Well mom try hard to help me. I’ll pay you back soon as I get out. Then
you can keep the car while I’m across. Well mom I’ll close for now.
Your loving Son, Mat.
