ATC waiting for the job to begin...Dorothy at Chautauqua
APO space 13135 c/o postmaster New York, N.Y. July 12, 1944 Dear Dorothy, Last night when I came back from town I was getting ready for bed, in the dark as usual, I found your letter on my bed. Not having any lights in the barracks I waded through the mud over to the day room and read it there. I believe I wrote a V – mail to you last week telling you that I’m in India etc. etc. At the present I happen to be about 400 miles west and a little south from where Bev stayed the last five years. I have my fears that I may be kept here, and I really don’t want that. I would really like to go up to where Badly has his house or even over where Willis stayed. Most of the bunch that I came over with has been assigned already but for me has to wait until last. I haven’t heard a thing from mother or dad as yet. I sure wish they would hurry up and write. I got a letter from Peter that he sent me in the States. It followed me around to every camp I have...
