Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, September-October 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 4

was on bivouac. Before we left they told us the barrack would be locked and not opened till we got back. I guess they opened it one day to let some guys clean it up. They were from another company and one must have been light fingered. I missed the razor the first thing but I didn't miss the pen till I got ready to write letters. I guess I'm out of luck for there isn't much chance of getting them back now. All I ask for is to get my hands on the guy that got them. I should have known better than to leave them in my foot locker but I guess I learned the hard way.
I guess I've given you all the news for now. As soon as I get time I'll see about the paper dad. Maybe by next time I'll have some news about school.
This is short but I have some work to do to get ready for tomorrow. I thought I'd better write so you would know I'm ok though. Until next time
Love
Carroll
