Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, January-February, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

laundry bag. There really wasn't much to send. I hope the lamp and the pictures got through all right.
I was sure sorry to hear about Wilfreds father-in-law dying. It looks like they should be hearing from him by this time.
I got another letter from Harry Jr. The letter got here from Hawaii in five days. Pretty darned fast.
Before I forget it, much oblidged for the box of candy. It didn't last long in a room full of hungry guys, but it was good while it lasted.
It sounds like you two are really going all out on that farm. The first thing you know, Alf will be out there milking cows and stuff or is that going a little too far?
I haven't heard a thing about when they will be shipping guys out. I should be here for a couple to four weeks maybe more. All I hope is, when I leave, some of the guys will go along.
