Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, September-October 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 3

I have some junk to send home home one of these days. Keep sakes of the army I guess. I'll try to get them sent one of these evenings. I'm sending a sample of what we ate out in the field. D and K rations etc. Do what you like with them. Try eating one and see how you like it. The D ration is good but doesn't look very big to be one meal. However, each box is a meal believe it or not.
I've completely recovered from the 20 miles. No sore muscles anymore. Haven't been to see if I've gained back the weight or not.
Please tell the Clarion to change my address as soon as you can. I guess that takes care of that. I'm anxious to see the Clarion for the news of the big game. I suppose I'll have to wait quite awhile since I'll be moving.
Kay has moved out to the Hospital and has started classes. Seems to like the place fine. Sounds like she is taking some stiff courses.
