Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, May - June, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 3

and I guess that was the important thing. Its been raining off and on all evening now. No kidding, we had to bale rain water out of the boat all the time because it rained so much. I guess that about catchs things up to date.
I saw alot of Jap equipment while I was in Roberts and I agree that their rifle is poor. They do have some good equipment though.
No mom, don't send me any film. Send it to Swede. We aren't allowed to have cameras in this camp so I can't use it.
I got another letter from my indian friend last Fri. It was not in his hand writing although it was in his words. It looked like a girls writing as it was straight and fancy. I guessed that he might be in a hospital. I don't know where he is. I sent him a picture, but I would like to have some more. I'd like to have some of those of myself that we took when I was home. Several people ask for a picture and that is about the best.
