Letters from George

Hi Babe

How is everything going? I'm still at Camp Carson and it looks as though I'm stuck here for the duration. We were going to Tennessee for maneuvers but now they tell us it has been postponed until February.

I don't know whether Sarah told you or not but I'm trying to make Aviation Cadet. When I first came in the Army I made 109 on my intelligence test. A score of 115 makes you eligible for Officers School or Cadet in Air Corp. I took a retest last week and made 128 so now I might get somewhere.

I needed three letters of recommendation. Father Doyle sent a swell letter and so did Joe Daley. Mr Shrostle? is supposed to send one so I will be all set to take the test. I put in my application so now I have

to wait for them to call for me.

Bucky is lucky in being moved once in a while. He doesn't know what it is ~~[word]~~ like to be stuck in one spot away from any excitement for a year.

If I do make the Aircorps I will still be in Colorado but closer to Denver. That shouldn't be so bad.

If you want a hot number to play pick it out of 6514. Every thing I do in the Army seems to have those four numbers in it. They are the last four numbers of my army serial number, my laundry number is 5416 and I've seen it a half dozen other places.

I don't know whether I will ever see that Dentist or not. The hospital is at the other end of camp about 2 miles away. I should try to get him to clean my teeth. They fix your teeth as soon as they go bad but they won't clean them

unless they are real bad. The Dentists are too busy.

How is Charles making out. I got a letter from the fellow I used to help. He told me that Charles has a big blonde helper that weighs about 310. Ask him if that is right. I'm checking up on him.

Well take it easy Sis. I'll write as soon as I can

George
