Dear Leona:
Well here I am still but not for long. No kidding a dream. A long worn out Dream is coming nearer to reality. I will be home some time in January. Unless orders change. But up to now we sail or get on a boat on the 10th of December. I'm about going Nuts for that is only 15 Days away. All the 70 bomber have gone to Manila last week & we are the first to go as a Unit. with 60 to 69 pointers exclusive.
So you know what that means from now on there is no use in writing for the Post Office readdresses to my home address. so here I am. and not a darn thing to write about.
Our old Outfit Broke up and so I'm in the 736th AAA Gun Bn. which is second on the list. for shipment. 43,000 men are going to shipped from the AAA this December on 147 Troop Transports.
So I'll see you after I walk out of the Gates of Fort Douglas or should I call you up for Instruction on how to get around Salt Lake. Well that's too far ahead to think clearly so I cross the Bridges when I come to them.
Boy I'm afraid I freaze when I get there. And in the coldest time in the Year. Do you realize I've only seen show once in 3 years. That was at Fort Monroe and very little. I can't say it will be good to see it again for how will I know what come with this.
Boy if I get too much in a hurry I might find myself going to school this Winter but I dough it. I probably go work for awhile til spring but again why am I making my mind up now?
Yes this is a short letter but it's late and we'll save the rest to deliver in person.
So Good Luck & Good Night
Love,
Wes.
