Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, May-June 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 4

if I can only pass that intrance exam I'll be all set. I sure hope I make it but I'm afraid of it. Most of the Iowa boys passed the board ok. They told us we would received our orders later. I sure wish I knew if I would make it or not. Now that I've been accepted I can't apply for O.C.S. but the way things were we couldn't have made it anyway so maybe I'm lucky.
Boy, its plenty warm here this evening. You know what I'd like to see? A cloud with rain in it. I don't think it will ever rain here. They should devide up this water a little bit.
Those strawberries sure sound good. Would I ever like to tear into a shortcake. Of course I don't eat much.
I guess I'd better close and start on another letter. So long for now. I'll try to make it again tomorrow unless we are kept busy on our day off.
Love
Carroll
