Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, September-October 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

This new pen is really wonderful. I never believed it was possible to write this easy.
Don't know if I told you but I've lost 12 lbs since school started.
It got down to 20 above last night. Pretty chilly for a change. It has snowed a little but nothing to amount to anything. The mountains around here have about a foot of snow on them already.
It looks like I may get out this weekend if I'm lucky. I didn't need the money but it will come in handy some time.
I got a letter from my Indian friend. He is at a Replacement center on the west coast. I imagine thats where I'd be if it weren't for ASTP.
Don't worry too much about the electric razor. I am doing fine. In fact I'm getting so I like to shave with a safety. My face never bothers me like it used to. It would be good for a quick shave while I'm in a hurry but not go to any trouble.
I still have a little work to do and its only half hour before lights go out so I'll get back to work.
I'm looking foreword to seeing you next weekend. Let me know and I'll be prepared if you do come next week.
Love
Carroll
