Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, May - June, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 3

Got a letter from J.J. the other day. It was a letter written on stationary put out by the Persona Razor blade co or something like that. The blades cost 10 cents each and are the best I've ever used. I tried them in Wyo, but they were to high for me. There were 10 in the letter.
Guess I wrote last Sun. Pretty long ago wasn't it? They don't give us much time. Monday we practiced with the motars. That night we were restricted to the co. area and put to work. Tues. we again practiced with the motars and that night we took a 15 mile hike. Wed. we took the motar tests and by last night I was so tired that I went to bed as soon as I got my odd jobs done. I've already took care of today so that brings us pretty well up to date.
You mentioned the kids coming home from Pella dad. What is the trouble?
My ankle is about the same. It still bothers me some, but I guess there is nothing I can do about it.
