Postcard from Opa to Grandmother, October 15: 1944.
October 15, 1944
Dearest,
Just a brief note so you hear from me. Your call from Topeka just got through; I wished you could come up with your folks. Phil was as excited as I never saw him before.
This has been a busy day: K.P. since five in the morning. Tomorrow, our basic starts.
Love,
Tom.
This was a short note, sweet that he keeps writing every day. My takeaway: tomorrow basic starts. What?! What have they been doing this whole time? Is he just now going into basic training?? I'm so confused.
