John N. Calhoun family letters, August 1941-February 1946

1941-09-08 Page 2

paid a per cent on what the operator's 
are taking in then you had better start
working for some one else where you
don't have to worry about managing the shop too.
Well, I got called away and didn't get to finish this.
The hook worm got me - I got to feeling kinda worthless so haven't finished
it until now.
We got located and it was a rather swampy place. Some of the trucks
got mired down and had to use the
winch to pull them through.
We only set up one tent (for the
officers) and a fly (just a straight
piece of canvas over a ridge pole).
The rest of us slept out in the 
open.
Next day we moved into a ward
tent. We took the truck and went for a
shower and got stuck three times and
had to be pulled out. Then we got
home to late for supper. Made it
rather bad all around
Will write more later
Affectionately yours, 
John N.
P.S. Enclosed find Pohren letter to put
away.
