Just came
down from the early movie. I don't know
when I've enjoyed anything so much. It
was "Casanova Brown" with Gary Cooper, Theresa Wright, Frank Morgan
and Anita Louise. You must see it. I'll not spoil it by telling you about it.
No mail
today, just the regular routine. Saw a
few patients in the morning, three off another ship and an additional one this
afternoon.
We've worked
out something different for our Xmas menu.
I'll send it along to you as soon as they're run. By the way, enclosed is an additional bit of
humor. Save it.
I've been
catching up on my mail. Wrote Libby, the
Bergmans, Ruth and your mother, Ethyl and Ward Gilman. Will do another stack tonight and in a couple
of days maybe I'll be all caught up.
Ambie is
feeling better. All patients are the
same when they are on the mend.
Complaints galore, but no sympathy from anyone.
Just for lack
of something different to do, I'm going to raise a mustache and a goatee, get a
picture taken and zip it off again.
Dear, get
Dave to buy a roll of 35 mm film for a miniature camera (black and white) and
air mail it to me. Also if it is
possible to make recordings of some of our party records I could sure use them.
One disc recorded at 33-1/3 speed should accommodate five or six records. Try it and see what you can do.
Darling, do
you remember Linda's first Xmas? She
really didn't know what it was about but we did. After the war we'll do as before and enjoy
all events to the fullest.
Good night my
love, my sweet, how I wish you were here of I was there. Gimme a kiss!
Another! Let's go to bed.
Love,
Gil
