Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, September-October 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 4

I'll be glad to get that pen to. This cheap one is ok now, but probably won't last long. The bigger size will be fine.
No, I never heard anything about the razor. I reported it but I guess thats as far as it got. Thats the army for you.
Where is Mrs. Charley [Teppert?] going to live now that Charley is dead or is she still in the hospital.
How come Pedro gets home so often? I can't figure that out.
I'll be sort of glad when classes start so I can see whats its going to be like. Most of the guys had a refresher course before they came here but the boys from Roberts didn't. That puts us just that much more behind. I'm I'm really worried about that stuff. I don't see how I can swing it with my knowledge of those subjects. They start us with all college stuff.
Thanks for the money dad. I didn't need it yet but the prices are a little higher here than at Roberts. No PX or army stores. Also town is to handy but after school starts there won't be so much running around.
I guess I've covered everything for this time so will close. I'm looking foreword to seeing you one of these days.
Love
Carroll
