Dearest Eleanor,
Another busy
morning and afternoon, but by three o'clock I was all through so I retired to
my room and finished Edna Ferber's "Great Son." Nothing to get excited about. Then I showered, dressed for chow. And now having enjoyed a hearty meal, here I
am.
How is
Arrowhead? Is the house comfortable and
conveniently located? Gosh, I wish I was
there so I could lug the lunch you had packed down to the beach and take the
kids into the water. Next year it's a
date.
The captain's
relief has fifty-four points. I have a
hunch that the admiral won't allow the captain to leave until another relief
comes out. So it goes.
No mail today
so I have little more to write about. In
a few days VJ day will be here and maybe censorship will be lifted. Then
there'll be lots of things I'll be able to write about.
The movie
tonight is a Roy Rogers western, "Bells of Rosarita." I don't have another thing to do so I guess
I'll go.
Goodnight
darling until tomorrow.
Love,
Gil
