Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, July - August, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 3

asked him if he couldn't borrow the money so I could pay for the watch. He won't do that and he claims he can't get it from home. In other words he just doesn't plan on paying. We shall see as I have already written Ken while I was still mad. I hate to cause trouble, but Ken told me to blow my own horn and I'm tired of some half-wit non-com pushing around.
It seems that a bunch of us are going swimming tomorrow (the short way) to see if we can't get back some of our tan. Most of us sort of bleached out while we were gone.
Maybe it goes without saying, but I'm going to say this anyway. I really had a wonderful time at home and believe me, its a great feeling to have a home like yours to go to. Maybe I don't show much appreciation, but its there just the same. Thanks for being such swell parents in every way.
Good night for now.
Love,
Carroll
