Carroll Steinbeck letters to Evelyn Burton, July - December, 1944

Went to a show last night "Bride by Mistake." It was pretty good I thought.
The company has a farewell beer party this Sat night in our recreation hall. I suppose I'll go for awhile. The last one we had was horrible, broken chairs, bottles etc. What a mess it was.
Maybe your hair gets wind-blown but mine sure as heck doesn't. Its still short after that butchering it took a while back. It is long enough to hold my hat on though.
That darned Joan never did answer my letter. She really must have had a time in [Cdo?]. Possibly Grinnell will seem dead after that. Especially with that gang of boys from home not there.
Sounds like all you and Betty do in your spare time is change your room around or clean it. I suppose its merely the house wife in you coming to the surface.
Five of my real good friends went POE last Mon. I sure hated to see them go. I'm getting tired of watching everyone else go while I stay here and rot.
