India
Saturday
Mess Hall
Dearest,
Here I am again right on time and all the time. I received a letter from you dated the 26th of July. What happened to the letters from the 20th to the 25th?
It's been raining all day today and it looks like we are ging to have another flood. I'm getting used to em already. I've been pretty busy making up a lot of orders, etc. I didn't wven notice it was raining so hard.
This afternoon I received my back pay. That was the first money I've bee paid her in India. I was paid off in Indian money.
This evening I went over to the Post Exchange and bought up my rations for August, candy, soap etc. I also got a foll of film so when I get a camera I'll take some pictures and mail you a few.
You mention in your letter that Louise and you went to a place called Playland. The way you describe it reminds me of a place called Riverview in Chicago. I think that the one is Chicago has more rides and concessions that are a lot more real and a lot more of a gyp.
Some of the rides are really rough. Back in the pre-war days some people got killed on some of the rides so now all rides have to be government inspected. So now they have a lot of safety devices. I lked the part where you said a puff of air and whoops - boy if I ever saw that I sure would.
When I bring you to Chicago and take you to some of the places of interest in Chicago the places you are seeing now will seem insignificant. The skating rinks are really nice and very large.
The fellow next to me as I am writing this letter is pretty mad because the rain and wind weakened his tent so it fell down. He moved into the tent I sleep in.
Today I am writing this letter in the mess hall, drinking coffee and writing to you at the same time.
I have to work tomorrow but before I go to work I'm going to go to church. I dread going to work. There is so much to do that I don't know where to start.
Darling, you still care for me as much as before? When did you see Dealy last, the Pfc. I'm talking about? Say hello to Louise for me and why don't you introduce me to her in the next letter? First ask her if she wants to know a good wolf?
I was going to go to town tonight but it rained so I couldn't. They have a Polish refugee camp around here. So the Polish girls go up to a Red Cross club in town and are our dancing partners for the night. I don't feel at ease to go cause I don't feel right when I go our with any one else but you. I mean it too. In the 2nd place I don't like to dance so I don'tmiss it. If I should ever go out with any girl here I'll tell you about it cause I want you know. They do not understand English so I have to speak Polish to em
I guess I'll close honey so until I write again. I remain yours always and truthfully.
Love
Ray
PS I love you. Loads of kisses to you.
