Tell Nelle thanks for the dollar. You can let her read this. I was on guard both Christmas and new year's. It wasn't so bad though. Wehave a good dinner both times. The people of Corvallis gave every one of us abox of something to eat on Christmas. I got a big box from home, so I had plenty to eat any way. I would much rather have been home for dinner. I can't write that much about what can we are doing (army regulations). You never can tell who might read a letter first. We do lots of guard duty and patrol of roads. We have to take care of our horses and the rest of the time we spend out in a field practicing battle formations. I think we are going to move to another town in a few days so my address will be Fort Lewis. If mail has that address I will get it no matter where we are. I am First-class private now. I get $36.00 a month. After our year is up, we get a $10.00 rates in pay. All of the boys have a girlfriend. I met a nice girl. I have been to her house and met her folks. They have a grocery store. She goes to college here. Her motherinvited me to a turkey dinner, but I can't get off long enough. We only get passes from six till ten at night and then only half of us can go at one time. I go to a show on my nights off. I like to see the news reels about war situations. There is no doubt in my mind but what we will win, but I just like to keep posted on things. I think Hitler is licked now, only he won't give up. He will, before the U.S. gets through with him. I hope you are all well. I am OK. Tell Granny I will write to the her one of these days. You can let her read this. Love, Glenn 1941,April 7th Dear Folks, I have just got back from Seattle and I sure had a time. I think all the army and navy were there at once. Seattle has 448,000 people. We drove all over in a bus over 50 mi. for$0.25. Saw a lot of ships. Seattle is right on the ocean. It is supposed tobe the cleanest town in the U. S. It has been raining here all week. Write. Glenn Workman 1941 Sunday morning March 9th, Glenn Workman left for Fort Lewis, Washington with Troop B, 115th Cavalry.
