AMERICAN RED CROSS
Monday 14 February, 1944 1515 o'clock
Dearest
Eleanor,
Had a very uneventful trip back to the
base. Made swell time--three hours and
fifteen minutes. When I got into my room
it was colder than he-- so I turned on the heater. In ten minutes everything was nice and cozy.
The doctors made quite a dent in the
box of cake and fruit this noon. I now
have two special requests for those candies that Linda gave me. If you can buy some more for next weekend
please do so.
At noon today one of the cooks brought
in some nice thick fillet steak sandwiches--mm.
Then we all went over to do some pistol shooting.
This has been a typical Monday. Busy all day long. I really could find a patient if I looked
hard but I just feel a little lazy so I'm writing this letter instead.
I have a class at 4:00 P.M. and chow
at 5:00. Then back to the barracks for a
little freshening up and the B'nai B'rith meeting tonight.
How are you feeling today? Is everything alright? I hope now you have
nothing to occupy your mind except our plans for moving.
Kiss Linda and Norma and a big hug for
you. (I just had another visitor for
more of your candies). Don't forget our
date (in bed) on next Saturday night.
Love,
Gil
