Dearest Doris & Johnnie
I’m not leaving here today my orders were changed and I’m not leaving until Monday the 26th. The ward master told me last night he was going to do everything he could to get us a short pass. I sure hope so, then I could get my clothes pressed and maybe I could get a beer. I called Hap[?] Warren last night he wanted me to come out to his house, I may go if I have time.
I just got through making my bed, put on clean sheets etc. I guess there is a General coming through this morning and they want it to look good. It is still the same old G.I. Army. Irene said in her letter that a lot of the boys around Decatur are being drafted (4.F) as are they the 18 yr olds.
I went to a show this morning and just got back. There is a show every morning at 9 o’clock and it is free. It takes me about all day to write a letter, I write a while then quit and do something.
I’m getting a few cig. ahead now so I may not run out for a while.
How is Johnnie oy? I suppose he is on the run as must [sic] as ever. Sure will be glad to see you & Johnnie.
There was a few more guys just came in this morning. They were as glad to be here as I was.
Well honey there isn’t much more to write about so will sign off.
I’m waiting for you.
Lots & Lots of Love
Shorty.
