Good Morning Sweet,
Another busy
morning. Found a couple of patients
waiting when I came down to my office.
It was 9:00 o'clock by the time I was through, and I had to dash over to
the Welfare and Recreation office to get tickets for a U.S.O. show. Also attended to some library matters and
checked with the Red Cross about getting additional recreational material. Just got back and I hope I can get this off
in today's mail.
Wish I could
hear Norma talk. Maybe Dave will make a
record for you to send on to me. A few
words from you and Linda would also be a real surprise. The civilians are male shipyard workers. I met them through our chief pharmacist
mate. We went over early and made lunch
for ourselves and dinner for all. It
isn't too bad that I didn't go into the Army.
Two reasons: First Ray Davis was
made available the same time as I and he has been in nine months longer than I
have. Second, I know I'll do dentistry
in the navy, but in the Army I might be recruiting, setting behind a desk,
drilling men, in fact anything but dentistry and when a dental officer does
work in his own line he likes to have good equipment to work with. Besides dear, all the Army isn't in Europe. There are plenty in the Pacific area and
they'll stay there along with the Navy and the Marine Corps until they are good
and ready to send them home. I have no
regrets and please don't worry your little head about what might have been. The past is behind us and we must look to a
happy future together. That clipping
doesn't mean a thing so forget it.
About my
accounts. Turn everything over to the
bureau that you don't get any action on by the end of the month. Regarding John O. York. Check with the bureau
and Al Posner. If either has the
accounts, have them follow through on the information you have or release the
account to you. Then turn it over to the
Santa Monica Credit Association.
Put in a
claim with Al Blumberg for lost and damaged personal property. He'll collect from Bekins faster than you
can.
The leper's colony
or any other place is not as close as it would seem. Ten hours is not much time
to do any sightseeing at any distance from the ship. I'll get in the learning mood as soon as we
get underway; I won't have so many other things to do.
Honey, do you
remember the summer of 1932 when you rode the trams with me and brought me my
dinner? After this war we'll always ride together wherever it may be and enjoy
every minute of it.
Bye my
darling, till tomorrow. I love you and
miss you more each day.
Your one and only
Gil
