Thursday
Dear Ma, Pa, Barb, Ann & Ele,
I am at the U.S.O. in Los Angeles and have a few hours before the bus leaves back to camp. I actually got my 3 day pass so I went to Long Beach (about 20 minutes from here). I got down there about 8 o'clock Tues night and went to one of the dances & guess who I met. Remember the record I sent home I mentioned going to a dance with Betty [?]? Well she was there and we certainly wore ourselves out jitterbugging. We had a good time. I certainly slept well after that workout at the American Legion Dormitory. I got up pretty late also on Wed. morning. I wanted to go swimming in the afternoon but it was just a little bit too cold for swimming. So I went to a show. I saw two old pictures "Across the Pacific" and some other picture as I seen all the others they had back at camp.
At night I went to the U.S.O. dance and had a swell time. I slept at the same dormitory last night also. Then as soon as I got up this morning I came right to Los Angeles. After eating (hotcakes) I went to the show again and saw "Going My Way" with Bing Crosby and boy was it good. I really enjoyed it an awful lot.
Boy it's sweltering here in the city. It's really hot and the sun is shining brightly. How is the weather in N.Y.?
I feel a bit lonely being I am all alone. I usually come down with someone of the boys. But only a few left and I didn't know them too well.
I'll close now hoping everybody is in the best of health. Will write soon again.
Your Loving Soldier Boy
Tony
P.S. I sent a package with a few letters and my ring etc. Just a few odds & ends. T
