Monday, October 25, 1943.
It rained hard last night, and still raining all day today! I sent some telegrams telling people that I have returned to the States. Tonight, I saw the movie, “Princess O’Rourke”, and then I called home.
Tuesday, October 26, 1943.
It is still raining this morning, but Bob Jarrett, Jim Wolfcale and I went into town. We just intended to bum around. We went in on the bus, and then out to Langley Field. Jarrett used to be stationed there as an enlisted man. Our first stop was at the Finance Office, where we collected some per diem.
We found out that we could take our 6-4 physicals here, although we weren’t scheduled for them until Friday. Then, they decided that we would have to wait and take our physical at our next permanent station., instead! So, we went over to Headquarters and pushed our Orders through S-1. We hurried back to the Camp for our baggage, While Wolf waited for the Orders. We just made it back to Hampton Roads in time for the 7:15 pm train - after a taxi bill of about $15!
I received a telegram from Nancy Smith, but no money order from home. We changed trains at Richmond. I have a 20 day leave! Wolf and I have Pullman compartment together.
