Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, September - October, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 3

I’m having a heck of a time keeping up with my old customers now.

Got the watch and its running fine. I guess it was about time I got one that would work. I also sent Ken $20 more last week. May get that watch paid for yet. 

I had planned on going on pass this weekend but I got in so late Sat. that I couldn’t. Haven’t been out but once since I got back from furlough.

My buddies are leaving in the morning for POE. I sure hate to see them go. Maybe they are lucky to be getting out of here. The new guys haven’t come in yet. Neither have I heard any more about the Div moving to a new camp. I’m beginning to think we will rot right here.

Think the gang will take in one last picture show together this afternoon. There is a good one on and there isn’t anything else to do.

We go out in the field again Mon. for some sort of tests. I’ll be glad when they got through with all this testing.
