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

Say, whats all this talk about your being an old maid? For gosh sakes, you don't have to worry about that. You know, we got just about the same kind of a deal didn't we? I mean we had been going steady about the same amount of time etc. Oh well, I guess it taught us plenty and there was alot of fun in it. If things look too much like we will be left out I don't think we would make too bad a combination do you?
Oh yes, we had our beer party last Sat. night. We also had plenty of good fried chicken. Thats what I took care of mostly. I did drink a couple bottles, but thats all. I never did like the stuff even if I did drink it some. Anyway, the party got a bit rough so I came back to the barracks and went to bed.
Probably you wouldn't recognize me now. I'm smoking a pipe. You never saw me smoke much did you? I don't much, but once
