Dear Helen,
I'm sitting over at the hostess house waiting for mother to show up & I thought I'd better drop you a card with my change of address in case she doesn't get here. I have to go back to the barracks at four & it's about three now.
I called Ma this morning & asked her to bring me some money down because Salleng wasn't able to get any dough to give me what he owes me. And I had to get a bunch of stuff at the PX that I didn't think about so I was almost broke.
Ma was supposed to get here this morning. I hope she didn't have an accident or something. Maybe she got lost! In case this looks a little scribbley it might be because I'm out on the porch writing on my knee.
We are leaving this evening at 5:00 to go aboard ship but it will probably be after 12:00 before we get in the darn thing.
NEW ADDRESS
Cpl. William H Welch - 410470
"G" Co. 5th Rep. Draft
FMF Pac. c/o FPO
San Francisco Cal.
Went to the dentist yesterday & had 4 teeth filled so now that's tooken care of anyhow.
Well it don't look like Ma's gonno show so I guess Ill go away broke anyhow. Hope nothings happened to her.
Mick's going to bring the car & credit card home. Some stuff in truck.
All my love sweet heart,
Bill
