Carroll Steinbeck letters to his parents, May-June 1943

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

coming out and put on a show.
Bill, Christy Larson and I went to a show last night. It wasn't too good but it was about the only thing to do. Afterwards we came back to the barrack and talked until lights out.
I should was some things but there is such a long line down there now that I have just about given up hope for washing today. I also have to clean up my mess gear if we are going to be eating out of them.
I'm certainly glad I have my electric razor. Its the first time I ever could shave and not mind it. I can really get a good shave in a little bit now and my face has nearly cleared up also. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I found a double socket here so I've been getting along fine but if you have sent one its ok because it wouldn't hurt to have an extra.
I guess I'd better get cleaned up for dinner for its after 11:00 now.
I hope you can read this for I wrote it lying down
Love
Carroll
