Letters from George

Dear Ann

I'm not in love, in fact I have hardly talked to a girl since I've been here. I am just too lazy to write. Almost every night since we have finished basic training they have been taking us out on night problems or making us scrub everything up for inspections. When we do get a night off, which is very seldom, I either am so tired I drop on the bed and go right to sleep or take in a movie to relax.

A couple of nights ago I was standing guard over a big electric transformer when a seventy-five mile gale started blowing. The wind knocking the electric wires together was causing shorts and big blue flames were shooting all around me. I had to stay on duty for a double shift because it was too bad to take a chance sending a jeep out after me for relief. I was never that scared in my life before.

I got the dollar that was sent from Mays mother club. I'm going to drop her a line today. Frank really is getting to be a big shot in Gloucester now. The first thing you know he'll be running for Governor of the State.

It looks as though I got out of the Shipyard a little too soon. If I was there now I might have a nice blond helper for myself. Tell Charlie that I said not to start making excuses that is is working overtime at nights if he gets a girl for a helper. I have a couple of stooges watching him. So far I haven't had any unfavorable news.

Those pictures I took really were honeys. Most of them turned out very good. I don't think I can take any more either because its hard to get the right sized films here and we have orders to send all cameras home immediately. Some fellows were caught taking pictures of the camp showing the mountains in the background. This gives away the location of the camp.

Will try to write again soon

George
