Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, September-October 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

I don't know what to say about your coming out. I think this would be the best idea though. If you could come as soon as possible after your dealers meating, dad. I get off Sat evening at about 5 and am off until Sun evening at 7:30. I doubt if we get thanksgiving off anyway. I believe it would be best to come early because the studies will get harder & harder and that means study even on the weekends. I really believe it would be best to come on a weekend as soon as you can.
I got the pen and razor. The razor isn't working but I'll keep it here until you come out. The pen is swell. I believe I like it better than the other. This isn't it I'm writing with, however.
Got a letter from Marg and she thought the picture was wonderful. I haven't heard from Ken to see what he says about it. I didn't know I had a devilish look on my face though.
I found out a little more about this place. Its pop. is about 10,000 and the college enrollment is about 600 now, without the army.
