My Dear Roberta,

            I have finally got around to write you Roberta. I am working in our Battery office this afternoon and I have written out so many passes for the boys to go into town that my arm is about to fall off. I am always glad to get your letters honey and I thought that picture that you drew for me of that desert sunrise was real nice and I’ll try not to lose it.

            I had a letter from Rosalie yesterday from Tucson at the University and she was just getting settled. She says they are up at the day-light and are on the go all day long. I’ll bet she has a lot of fun after she gets started. She said John Jelfinghausen was going to a trade school in El Paso.

            Tell Dad that I wrestled with a damned package for two good hours this morning sending him some things to clean his German rifle with and also a few shells for it. I hope they get through and aren’t taken out somewhere along the line. There are two good hunting knives in it too. Dad will be getting about enough of those knives pretty soon won’t he? I’ll keep looking around and find something for you girls before I get out of this country yet. I think I might come home in January some time. How would you like that?

            How are you doing in school now? Have you got to play any volleyball yet? I never hear anything about Carol, what is she doing in school. Tell her to write to me. I’ve got to stop for now.

Lots of love,
Max
