Guy Lee Tinder, Jr. correspondence
May 6, 1952
Tue [Tuesday] Eve [evening] 1:05 PM
Hi Honey
I finally got a letter from you today also 1 from Mom, 1 from Mary K. This darn Army sure filed
me up on that school deal. I suppose I should of waited till I got there for sure. Letters 14 thru 19 I
didn’t get not counting Mary K’s so it has been quite a while since I heard from home. You didn’t say
whether you are getting mail at Beverly or not but I will send this letter there anyhow. I didn’t think you
cared what I said in my letters [page 2] I really don’t mean what I say except I try to make you jealous
even thou [sic] you said you didn’t get jealous anymore. I haven’t written you for 3 wks [weeks] so don’t
pay it any attention if I write even less in the future. As for your letter you said I didn’t consider them of
any importance. I practically had fits not getting any mail last week all I can say is you should write more
or longer letters. I have to play ball this eve [evening] as we now have a team and we have got in a
league. I had the best [page 3] time Sun [Sunday] night that I have had since I hit Eucom [United States
European Command]. I went to a Scala Ice Revue it was sure good. I took some pictures with my
camera, hope they turn out good. I may send you some of them but I don’t know what you would want
with pictures of women. I have to pull C.Q. [Charge of Quarters] after the ball game so won’t get to bed
before 12 tonight I sure miss my sleep when I don’t get it. Of course I can sleep during the day as we
have a bed in the office. I’m afraid you are going to find a much changed Guy when

Sitting in the moonlight,
Singing songs of love
Nice girls on both sides,
That’s duty of above

This is what the H.E. [Heavy Equipment] Sup. [Supervisor] thinks I do. I only hope you don’t
have the same idea as you ought to know I am true blue to you.
For your information there isn’t a woman around Bad Krueznach I would touch with a ten foot
pole. You ought to see the old bags not 10 good looking women in the whole town.
[page 4] I do get home I hope it is for the better but I have my doubts. A fella suggested I try to get out
of the Army today on account of my height if there was a chance believe me I would sure try. You don’t
know how much I would like to have been in those pants I sure hate it over here even if I don’t do
anything. We had a big party for some fellas going back to the States there was a good band playing but
only 4 or five women so I didn’t even get to dance once. About everyone but me was drunk as the devil
you may think I drink a lot only I have news for [page 5] you believe it or not. Angel I suppose I will close
tell all hello for me. Hope the water has gone down. You all never tell me much I just have to guess. I
got a long letter from Bob last week. Hello again:
I am back from the ball game which we lost 13 to 12 so will add a few words. By the way it looks like
you are pining away for B Hund and Jack B, what I am more concerned over is what ever did Jack Hill do
with you that would make me jealous? Will you be honest? You seldom answer my questions I ask
about yourself hiding something? Don’t worry as you say you have me and nothing I could do [page 6]
or that I want to do for that matter so tell me the truth. Honest Angel I do write some beastly letters
but I feel like heck all the time I hate myself for what I do but still I do it. That’s why I will write less then
you won’t have to put up with what I say. I had better close this letter. I do miss you lots also love you
as I always have.
