Dearest Mom, Dad, and All,

     I received your letter a few minutes ago.  Was I glad to get it, but was kind of disappointed because I am not an uncle yet.  But I guess that can't be helped. 

     Ray and I went to Sacramento as you probably already know.  We both sent cards home from Teds and Veras.  We had an awful lot of fun while there.  We took a lot of pictures of the Capitol and Sutters Fort.  I hope we get them back soon.  On the way back our first stop is going to be Sacramento, so we will see them again.

     We go back to the 10th F.O. the 14th and leave here the morning of the 16th.  The Fifteenth Infantry leaves the 15th.  Just a few more days now and we will be home.  I guess there isn't any use of you folks writing again, because we will be home before the letter gets here.

     You didn't say why Ben and Helen moved to Everett.  To be closer to the job or what? 

     Hal sure spent a lot of money on my car.  Thanks.  When we get back Ray and I are bound and determined to get another body for my car.  George said it isn't worth it but we are going to do it anyway.  I would like to get a four door body for it.  If George and Hal would look around maybe they could find one, and have him save it until pay day.  Then I could get it.

     Have George and Hal get Margaret next Sunday if you can't go over. Please??

     I will close now as Ray will write some.  Hoping this finds everyone well.

                                   

                                                         Love Rex.

                                                          See you soon.
