Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, September-October 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 4

I’m cutting some wisdom teeth which hurt a little when I eat. Other wise I feel fine. Still weigh about 168 even with this heat.

I suppose school starts about Mon. I’d sure like to go back to High School and play some ball. Little out of the question isn’t it?

I’d sure like to have a picture of you and dad plus the one of Kay to keep with me. I’ll wait till I get settled in school then maybe I can have some more stuff of my own. All the fellows are in the same thing I guess so maybe will go together again. 

I keep expecting to hear a whistle any second. I guess I’d better get my shirt on and be completely ready. Anyway I can’t think of much else to write about so will close for now. I’ll see if I can’t write a little sooner next time.

Love, Carroll

I’ll let you be the judge about coming out to Calif. I’ll let you know if anything new comes up.
