Dearest Eleanor,
Hello darling
how are you? Believe it or not this has been a busy day from the time I climbed
out of my sack.
I worked in
my office until lunch time. Since then
I've been busy with other duties.
Because of some changes in the ward room mess I have a closing statement
for the last period to complete and I haven't found anyone yet who understands
accounting. Anyway I spent three solid
hours doping out a statement and I hope I have it correct now.
Then, as
welfare officer, I've had calls for fishing line, medicine balls, poker chips,
playing cards, dart games and what have you.
To top it off I brought our record player down from the radio shack,
where it was hooked up to the ships Public Address System, and set it up to
play from 8:00 PM till now. You see the
rest of ship is dark and quiet after 8:00 PM to give watch standers a chance to
sleep.
Yes honey, I
manage to keep my days full and like it better that way. How are you passing your time? Do the kids keep you as busy as ever or does
Betty keep them out of your way? Gee I
wish you could sit out on deck with me and enjoy the warm, balmy evening, look
at the many twinkling stars in the sky and let me whisper sweet nothings in
your ear! Now it would be time for a
nice hot kiss and a bunny hug. That's
the way I feel today. Sweet and all I
can do is dream about you now. Well
there will be many days when I shan't need to dream about you because you'll be
right there and will I be willing and able! And will you?
Well, Sweet,
I am sleepy and will probably be awakened at 6:30 so I'm going to turn in
now. But before I go, do you remember
the first time you kissed me? My did you
run. Bet after this war you don't run
away. If you do I know a guy that'll
catch you before you are well started.
Good night
Sweetheart, until tomorrow.
Love
Gil
