Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, November-December 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

The watch may not get there for awhile because I have to mail it down town if I insure it and its no telling when I can get it down there while its open[?]. I have it all packed and ready though.
Went to a dance for a little bit last night but didn't stay. Walked down town and came back about 12:00. Got up this morning at nine o'clock and messed around till noon. Went down to a show this afternoon "Guadacanal Diary" Came back and started writing letters. I got the cap from Ken and it fits fine. I told him to send me to suits of O.D.'s. 
If you guys are figuring on trying for a deer I'd better send you a 30 cal machine gun. You might need it or do you think so.
The weather has been fine all except for two days since you were here. It has been nice and warm every day. It is getting colder then heck out now though.
