Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, January - April, 1945

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

I guess I've received about all of my packages. I got the box with the stationary, socks and knife a couple days ago. I also got those $5 bills some time ago. I'm saving those to celebrate with when I hit New York on the way back or should I say San Francisco? 
Dad, as for those questions you asked, I'm afraid I can't help you much. Some outfits can write alot more than others. This is the worst one I know of. The sun is shining and it isn't too cold. Its chilly though and it gets cold at night. I'm leaning against a sand back soaking up all the heat I can.
Hope Ken gets to liking his work better. Probably harder work than he was used to.
Just got a letter from Bill MacDonald and one of our good friends is missing. (From Iowa) We never get a chance to see each other so we have to write.
