There Goes Another One Up The Ladder

Friday, August 14, 1942

Wonder of wonders it didn’t rain at all. That certainly does make a world of difference. Tomorrow we go out and don’t come back ’til Sunday morning when we’ll go back to Omagh. That will wind up this weeks of maneuvers, thank Heavens.

Received three “V” mail letters from Jane today and one from Mother. Jane’s letters certainly reflect the various moods she has. God, how I love her and do miss her. In her letter she mentioned that Fred Jordan is going to O.T.S. So there goes another one up the ladder and I still can’t reach the bottom rung.

Today I was the C.O.’s runner and he certainly did run me. He’s a lot easier to get along with since the made him a captain. (From the W.P.A. to a Captain in the U.S. Army).
