Dearest Eleanor,
Just got back
from the movies. We had "Docks of
New York" with the Dead End Kids.
Kind of corny but the way the kids "murdered" the King's
English was a scream.
This morning
another officer and I took a jeep ride over to one of the hospitals to see
three of our men. One of them returned
with us and the other two will be ready to come back in a couple of days. This afternoon we moved to a new Quonset hut
and are settled for another few days.
They've begun
stripping the ship. She should be out of
commission in ten days to two weeks.
Tomorrow I'm taking over my claim for lost gear. I'm asking for $495 but the amount will
probably get pared down some. However
I'll come out ahead of the deal because I won't need to replace very much lost
gear.
Outside of
that there is no news. I'm waiting, not
too patiently, for orders. Nothing will
materialize until decommission is complete.
In the meantime Darling be patient and don't worry.
Love,
Gil
