Dearest,
The flurry of
business we had yesterday was short-lived.
Today things are slow and easy again.
The
"watch" schedule was taken down last night and a new one hasn't been
posted yet. The Captain is not here, so
there is no way of telling what my schedule is going to be until the last
minute. However I am planning for Saturday
and Sunday at home until I hear otherwise.
Last night I
was "dead" tired. I phoned the
president of the B'nai B'rith. He told
me they were having an open meeting with Dr. Nussbaum as the guest speaker. I was so tired and with the uncertainty of my
"watch" night, I decided not to go to the meeting. Instead I talked
to him. Although he was not very encouraging, he promised to try and help
out. He gave me the name of a member who
is in the realty business. I'll try to
reach him tonight. I took a shower and
turned in at 8:00 P.M.
Wednesday, 26 January

1615 o'clock (4:15
P.M.)
Dr. Thompson,
in whose office I worked till this morning, returned. Now I'm in another office. The last man here cleaned out all the
supplies when he left, so I've got to re-supply all the necessary items, but
not from my pocket.
Regarding
handpieces. I have two straight hand
pieces, one S.S. White and one Terry.
Sell the Terry. $20 is a fair price.
All the handpieces are stowed in the full barrel. What a job finding them. Miss Earnest will have
to do the best she can.
The radio
works well at my quarters. I can't
decide whether I want it there or here at my office. If I were rich, I'd have two of them, one at
each place. But as a Lt. (j.g.), one
will suffice.
One of the
doctors who has been married only a couple months came to me all excited. His wife is "pregling" and what'll
he do about it? Neither of them wants a
baby right away and they are really desperate.
Of course there wasn't much I could advise except that if he had
anything done to be sure to get a good man to do it.
The wind
howled and it poured "cats and dogs" last night. Today is sunny and
quiet.
