John N. Calhoun family letters, May 1942 - February 1943

1943-01-10 Page 2

I got your letter with the dog tags and thanks a lot.  Also missed the razor sharpener but you might as well just hold it there until I come back.
It has looked very gloomy all day today and they anticipate some kind of bad weather but none as yet.
I went back to work in the Surgeon's office and helped Lt Bailey - the one who took my place.  I guess he is getting along OK.  But I think they missed me quite a bit.
Lt Jennings went to Carlisle in my place.  He wanted to go very badly in the first place.  He got married just a few days ago.  Lt Meyer - you met him and his wife at the Officers Club - was moved over to Adjutant of the Medical Battalion and he was very happy.  I'm glad for him for he is a nice fellow.
Winnie is still feeling poorly and seems to be rather paralyzed in the back hips.  Hope she come out of it.  I'll have to get a haircut now.
Bye - Millions of kisses.  I'm so glad you have decided not to worry and simply do whatever the situation demands.  I don't blame you for feeling bad because I know what you have to do when I'm away.
Your Daddy.
Regards to Mother.
