Camp Carson, February 1943 — Camp Carson, Colorado
Colorado
Dear Marian
How is everything. Things are slow here right now. I've been in the hospital now for a week and a half with the flu. I don't know when the hell they will let us go home. The major General that had charge of this camp promised us furloughs but then he got moved himself. I don't know whether that is going to have any thing to do with our furloughs or not.
I got a kiss off Fay McKenzie yesterday. No kidding she was on a personell apperence tour in the camp and she came to the hospital. Right at the end she sang "kiss the boys goodbye" and she did kiss about sit six? of us.
I'll be able to send you another picture as soon as they let me out of this place I'm in. I had more pictures taken and one of them turned out pretty good so I'm having it enlarged to 4 by 6. The enlargements are done by now but I can't go after them yet. I have hair in this picture too!
Well Marian I can't think of any more to write laying here in bed so I'll say so long. Give my love to Gary & Nick
Best of luck Your Brother George.
The same week, George wrote his sister Ann from this same hospital, describing the very same Fay McKenzie show. Read that letter →
