John William Graham letters, July-September 1942

1942-09-11 Page 2

much sleep on account of it. From 10 P.M. till 2 A.M.
Well the time when we leave is getting closer don't know just how soon but it wont be months anymore but weeks and not many of them, the never tell a fellow anything you kind of guess and simmer down the rumors you hear. When we move if we go where I think I'll be about a thousand miles from home and if I can get a furlough I would come home it shouldnt cost so much from there. Dont think I could get the furlough however.
The weather seems to be changing. The sun is trying to break thru but it still showers intermittantly. Water stands all around in puddles as it is so flat there is no place for it to drain off.
Since I came back from choir[?] the barracks is so warm we had to open the doors these G.I. stoves really put out the heat. My bunk is right beside one too so Ill suffer.
I've nothing of interest to write about so Ill quit.
Love
Johnnny
