Tuesday 8 August 1944, At Sea
Dearest Eleanor,
What a
beautiful day. I wish you could enjoy it
with me. It is warm and sunny and the
Pacific with its gorgeous blue is as smooth as a great big pond.
Not much
doing in the way of activity. They
finally finished messing up my office and now my corpsman is painting it. I hope to be back to work tomorrow. Bought some shirts and trousers and a
slipover sweater for nights when it's cool out.
I'm going to
miss a few meals. I'll bet I've already
gained 5 pounds and I'll be darned if I'll keep them. Been trying to get someone to work out with
the medicine ball but no takers.
Well, my
Sweet, when this is over, you and I will have to take a cruise together. Just think, you and I away on a holiday and
it won't be long you'll see.
Bye Sweets,
Gil
