AMERICAN RED CROSS
Monday 21 February 1944
Dear Eleanor,
Arrived safe and dry at 4:45 and hit
the sack at 5:00. The trip down was easy
even though we did run into a lot of rain.
Your chicken sandwiches went over with
a bang. Three of the doctors joined me
for lunch. This afternoon instead of the
regular lecture at 4:00 we were shown official movies of the December 7 attack
of Hawaii by the Japs. Will tell you
more about it Thursday (I hope).
I am a little sleepy now but a shave
and a shower will wake me up enough for the meeting tonight.
By this time you should be all over
with your little trouble and by Thursday be raring to go.
Kiss my girls for me and don't be too
impatient. As ever
Your lover,
Gil
