Camp Forrest Tenn

July 20, 1942

Dearest Folks

Must write you a line or two to tell you I’m back out with the 129. They sure have been sending me around. I’m transferred to M. Co and I guess we are going to more some place I don’t know where. Anyway a different camp.

We came back this morning. This is the same company that Jerome Baum is in. Most of the guys from A.B.C. & D. Cos were transferred to E. F. G. H. I. K. L. & M so my address will be

PFC Wesley R Slaymaker

Co M 129 Inf 33 Div A.P.O.

Camp Forrest Tenn

This moving is nothing to get worried about. This new division (is) coming in, we just got to move. Probably will have a better camp. Maybe on the Coast some place or even closer to home. I sure hope so.

I was on guard all night last night so am pretty tired today. It’s the middle of the afternoon, I haven’t had nothing to do all day only get straightened around. I haven’t got any mail from you for quite a few days guess it got mixed up in so many addresses.

I’ll probably get a furlough after we get moved. I’m going to see about it tonight maybe they can tell me something.

Well, folks that’s all I know. I don’t know yet if I’m going to drive over here or not that’s what they sent me over as.

I’m going to sent Betty’s letters home so when they come don’t open them please probably you couldn’t understand them any how. I may send some other stuff the letters will be in a separate bundle.

I feel good and hope all of you do too. Don’t worry please and I’ll write more soon.

Love

Wesley

P.S. I’m going to send some pictures I got kicking around here. None of me tho.
