Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, January-February, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

three hour Chemistry lab. We didn't have to stay the whole time though.
We got up at 5:50 this morning so it was a little different from the way it was while I was home. 
I guess I was pretty absent minded while I was home or maybe I had something on my mind. Anyway, I forgot to thank you for getting the ring for me plus going out of your way to let me have a good time. I'll thank you now though for it was swell of you.  I just wish everyone had a home and parents like mine then maybe it would be a happier world. 
Got my hair cut this morning in a vacant period. It is now pretty darned short. 
We haven't any books yet today so maybe I can write letters tonight and get caught up. I suppose I owe everyone I ever knew a letter. 
I don't have much to write about for nothing much has happened yet. I probably never will for this place is a little dead to. 
I wish they would have left me with those other guys and I'd felt a little better. 
I'll close for now and get another letter written before noon. 
Love Carroll
