Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, January-February, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 1

Feb 21,
Dear Folks,
I let the weekend slip by without writing so I'd better get caught up this morning. I just finished a letter to Ken.
My watch went haywire yesterday. The crystal fell out and it stopped running. I guess I'll have to get one something like Ken's now that I'll be going back to an outfit. Nearly all the fellows are pretty tickled since they decided to do away with ASTP.
Sat. night my room mates and I went bowling. Believe me, I'm not so hot, but it was different and alot of fun. After that we took in the midnight show. Sunday I got up at 11:30 and went over and ate. We then went back down and bowled some more. I made 142 which wasn't too bad considering all the practice I've had.
I hope that suitcase with the pictures got through ok. I'm not too good at packing.
The weather is wonderful out today.
