Dearest Eleanor,
Hello Sweet,
here I am again after another busy day.
This probably has been the busiest day I've had since I've been
aboard. Except for an hour at noon I've
worked steadily from 8:30 until 4:30 P.M.
In addition to my regular appointments I had six emergency patients and
believe me I did hustle. I'm really not
complaining because I had several surgical cases, all difficult, but
interesting with good results.
In addition
to my work we've been using the dental x-ray machine for x-raying several
ambulatory war casualties that came aboard today. Now the operating room is being prepared for the
second appendectomy of the day. Our sick
bay has been really busy.
The mail
today brought the package of booklets you sent me--you know--puzzles, games,
jokes, etc. Looks like there should be
several hours of amusement there. Gee
thanks! Besides that I got an American
Dental Association Bulletin but no letters.
Oh well, I can't complain, I've been getting my share.
The movie
tonight is Abbott and Costello in "Here Come the Co-eds" and should
be be good for a laugh.
Gee honey,
I'm too tired to say any more even if there was something new or different to
tell you, which there isn't. So-o-I'll
sign off.
Good night
darling, till we meet again tomorrow.
Your lover,
Gil
