March 22, 1944
I got a nice sewing kit and pen from Aunt Seva and Uncle
Frank today. I guess it was meant for my birthday. I wish you would thank her
for me next time you see her cause I probably won’t be able to write her for a
while.
I sent a package of junk home today. I don’t want to lug
it along with me. I guess this will be the last letter that you will get from
me for a while Mama. I’ll keep writing but the letters won’t be mailed until
after we leave here. You will probably get all my letters in one day. You keep
writing Mama and I’ll get your letters. You will get another one of those cards
with my change of address on it.
We have been working like the devil the last three days
getting things ready to move. This damned army will let you loaf for weeks then
make you rush the last minute to get things ready to go. They say there is a
right way and an army way of doing things and they want things done the army
way of course.
I was on guard last night and it just rained cats and
dogs. I didn’t get wet though. I see why they pay corporals $16 dollars more a
month now – they damn well earn it on extra details. Ha.
I hope I get some letters from you and Rosalie at this
mail call, I didn’t get any today at noon or yesterday at all.
Oh yes, I got that bracelet and it is just right. Thanks a lot, I like it.

How is everything at home and are you all well? I hope
so. I have got to write Rosalie just a line since I can’t write anymore for a
while.
Mama I don’t want you and Dad to worry about me at all
cause I’m going to be alright and I’ll write lots where ever I go and let you
know how I’m doing.
I’m sorry that I didn’t get to go visit the Cilutats
while I was so close to them, but I didn’t ever get a chance. I’ll have to
write her a short letter and tell her why I couldn’t come. She was coming down
here to see me the first of April I think. Bye.
Your son,
Max
