Guy Lee Tinder, Jr. correspondence
July 26, 1951
Camp Crowder, MO
Dearest Aggie
Well here I am in the old Army now never thought it would happen to me. But I guess someone
has to go. I don’t guess I could really tell you how much I already miss you anyhow it is one heck of a
whole lot. Even more than I miss home but I guess you can expect that when you are in love with
someone. And even thou [sic] you don’t believe me it is true. Don’t recon [sic] I will distrust you till you
go out with someone so I won’t acuse [sic] you of it just yet.
Boy have we really been catching the devil since Wed [Wednesday]. I will be glad when we get
settled and start taking basic training I don’t think it could be any worse. We didn’t do a thing till Wed
[Wednesday] morning had the whole evening off Tue [Tuesday] eve [evening] so Robert Rottman and I
went to the show at the Tower it was really good but I wished you had of been with me. Started to call
you up but didn’t [page 2] thought I would call up Wed [Wednesday] morn [morning] but before they
opened the building you had already gone to work. Stayed all night at the Snyderhof Hotel had the
hardest cots to sleep on I ever seen didn’t go to sleep til [sic] 2:30 never again I hope even these Army
bunks are better although not quite long enough. I would love to hear from you but don’t write to me
till you hear from me again as we are only supposed to be hear [sic] 4 or 5 days starting Thursday and
their [sic] wouldn’t be time enough to get your answer. Don’t have any idea where we are going either.
Sorry to bore you with just this Army talk but since it is all I do it is all I know to talk about. Guess I will
close for now well write again quick as I get setteled [sic]. Tell all the folks hello for me
All my (all the bushels it the world) Love
Jr Tinder
P.S. Tell Bob hello for me to and that I will write before long
Thank you Angel
