UNITED STATES NAVY
Sunday 30 July 1944
Dearest Eleanor
It is less
than 10 hours since I kissed you goodbye and I'm already beginning to miss you.
The train
ride back was very quiet except for the jabbering of a couple of old hens
behind me. However in spite of them, I
dozed off for a little more than an hour and felt quite refreshed. I came aboard at noon after visiting with the
watch officers at the clinic for a few minutes.
Not a thing
to do all afternoon but walk around the ship and visit with some of the officers
in the ward room. I did have lunch
aboard. A little more salad than the
base mess. Steak with French fries,
string beans and apple pie a la mode for dessert made up the balance of the
meal. It is now almost six and time to
eat again but I am not a bit hungry.
Sweet, I'm
afraid that we will be shoving off the same day that you are planning to return
to San Diego, so our next meeting will be in the form of a real reunion.
Kiss my girls
Linda and Norma for their Daddy because he is going to miss them and you so
much.
Love,
Gil
