Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, November-December 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

Alot of the fellows are joining the air corp. There was a piece in the paper the other day stating that ASTP was going to be cut down considerably. Did you hear anything about that? What would you if I wanted to join?
Did you ever find out the ring size so you could order it? Kay said you had written her about it. I guess she is in Richland about now.
My ankle is still just like it was. I can walk ok but can't run worth a darn. I guess I pulled a few muscles. Its still pretty well swollen. Maybe I should have broken it then I'd have gotten a thirty day furlough. At least I'd have been sure of getting one.
I'm listening to the radio as I write letters. Sure sounds good to hear some of these programs again.
I have to write Ken yet tonight so I'd better get it done so I can get to studying. Oh those tests.
I'll be a nervous wreck after these two weeks. If I don't get a furlough then I don't know what I'll do.
Love
Carroll
