Dearest Eleanor,
Still
busy. Worked all morning and placed
twelve fillings and extracted one tooth.
This afternoon I completed eight more fillings so I guess I earned my money today.
No mail this
morning but this afternoon I got the "Yearbook of Dentistry," the
December Esquire, American Dental Association Journal and a package from you
containing several Coronets and those party recordings. Because of the slight motion of the ship, two
of the recordings at normal speed were scratched and spoiled when the pick-up
arm slipped across the face of the records.
In the future, any recordings you make should be at 33-1/3. They are much easier to play back without
messing them up. Intend playing the good
ones tonight after the movies. If the
officers like them I may request more.
Remember the
letter that disappeared? Well it showed
up today. It was a nice note from this
Dingey gal thanking me for writing her.
It'll probably be Xmas again before I get caught up enough to write her
again. I'll enclose her note in tomorrow's
letter. It is in my room. I want this to go off in the morning if
possible.
Nothing new,
different or exciting out here. I've
been sunning myself at noon daily and should have a nice tan soon. Tomorrow if nothing comes up I'll go ashore
for a little refreshment.
Darling, do
you remember how much pleasure we got out of our records and movies on Wednesday
nights? I was reading a Radio News
magazine and it seems that television is a certainty after the war and the
receivers will be a great improvement on pre-war sets. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? OK we'll
get one.
The movie
tonight is "Sunday Dinner for a Soldier" and hasn't been shown out
here yet, so it hasn't been rated. Hope
it's good.
That is all
for tonight darling. Good night and
pleasant dreams. I love you.
Always yours,
Gil
P.S. Going up to my
room so I'll enclose the above mentioned note.
