Fort Lewis Sept. 5, 1939

Fort Lewis, Wa.
Sept. 5, 1939 


 Dearest Mom, Dad, and All,
     Ray and I were back last night at 11:00 P.M.  We stopped at Richmond Beach and talked to Grace Solgot for a while before coming back.
     I hope your furniture came and if so tell me how you like it.  I hope you like it as well as I did when I saw it.  
     As you all ready know I am going home with Ray Saturday.  I haven't found out if we are drive around the loop or take the ferry.
     I haven't got my rating yet because today is a regiment holiday.  In 1919 on this  day the 10th Field Artillery was formed so this is a holiday.  We had to play for General Sweeney this morning for about 30 minutes but that was all.  This week is going to go fast.
     I took out an insurance policy today but it won't be good if I don't get my rating.  But the insurance man said he heard I definitely was.  It will only cost me $2.50 a month.  But don't worry I am taking a lot of table waiters.  I am on today for a fellow here. 

                                                               Write soon,

                                                                      Love,
                                                                          Rex
