Guy Lee Tinder, Jr. correspondence
24 Nov [November] 1952
Mon [Monday] Morn [morning]
9:30 AM
Dearest Wife and Kinder,
Here comes your old man with another page or 2, after 8 more months I hope I don’t have to
write anymore letters. Another dull wk [week] has passed hasen’t [sic] been to much going on business
has kinda slowed down around here. I took in few shows and played bingo Thursday nite that is about
all I did so you can see there is nothing to write. I had a beastly wk [week] end as I had a headache all
day yesterday also my left shoulder hurt quite a bit. Boy tonight are we lucky we have to go out in the
field for 2 nights in a row I know right now I am going to freeze only hope I don’t get a cold for they are
sure hard to get rid of over here. The night I celebrated was the day I heard Kenny was born, now isn’t
that a good [page 2] reason? Yes I suppose it does get pretty dull sitting around and taking care of the
baby but I am glad you don’t have a car or I probally [sic] wouldn’t have a wife when I get home either
that or I wouldn’t want her as no telling what a woman might do if she got the chance. I know it is hard
angel but do you stop to think I am not having a very hot time over here as there is not a darn thing to
do that is actually a lot of fun. Well Thur [Thursday] is thanksgiving so I have another holliday [sic]
coming up. They are going to have a pretty nice dinner at the mess hall next thing you know Christmas
is going to be here this will be my 2nd one away from home. Speaking of gifts I never did get your
anniversary present I had the money one time [page 3] but it got away from me some way or other. I
recon [sic] I will have to wait till later when I get flush again, trouble with me is I am always loaning out
what I have then I have to write home and get some. I would like to buy a lot of nice things and send
them home but I just don’t have the money.
So you are still fat huh? I bet you will be from now on to you might as well start buying you
some bigger clothes. I doubt if I could give you away so I will have to keep you. Woe is me a fat wife
and she cain’t even cook just look at the trouble loving you got me into. How is Kennys [sic] heat
getting? Okay I hope Mom was saying something about having Kenny circumsized [circumcised] are you
going to?
I am out of news so will close this and go to headquarters and see if I got any mail today [page 4]
if so I may add a line or so. I hope all are okay and don’t forget to say hello for me. Be careful don’t eat
to much thanksgiving.
All my love
Jr. Tinder
P.S. Do you feel sorry for me having to sleep out these next 2 nites? You should as it is pretty chilly.
P.S.S. No mail today therefore I hate you. (not really)
