Dearest Eleanor,
Hello Sweet,
here is that man again. Today was a nice
easy day. I really didn't do too much
work. I had five appointments scheduled
for men from another ship and they were cancelled the last minute. However I had five drop in patients so I managed
to fill the morning OK.
I saw one
patient this afternoon and then I went to work on those bracelets I'm making
for the kids. Linda's is finished and
all I had to do on Norma's is put on the chain.
I hope the sizes are right. I'll
make them large enough so that a couple of links can be taken out if they are
too big.
I got two
letters today, one from you (an old one of the 13th) and one from Libby. She is using air mail again. I guess she figured V-mail would be faster
but when I told her it took twice as long she switched back. V-mail from Europe
makes the trip out to here in two weeks, so I guess V-mail is better in some
cases.
I wrote
letters to Libby and Ruth today. I'm
getting behind again. I must write your
mother, Ethyl, Herman and "I" Bergman. Then I'll be all caught up until more comes.
Do I remember
my own phone number? Silly girl--how
could I forget? By the way one of our
barbers went back to the states and I gave him our address and phone number. He will arrive at San Pedro so I'm sure he'll
get in touch with you. He is a very nice
chap and his name is Trubey.
No more for
now dear so I guess I'll sign off. Good
night Darling and pleasant dreams. Sleep
tight.
Love,
Gil
