Celebrating Our Flat

Wednesday 29 March 1944,  1110 o'clock

Dear Eleanor,

          How are you this morning?  I'm just taking it easy.  Hope it is nice and quiet Saturday, then I'll be able to get away real early.  I'm going to met Deb and Dave in Oceanside and leave the Plymouth there.  Dave is going to drive their car this week.

          Went to the meeting last night and then we had a few drinks.  I really felt like celebrating now that we have a place in Diego.  I'm going down at noon today to a deposit and thus make the cheese more binding.

          Instead of the $2.25 dinner at the meeting, we ate at the Saddlerock Grill last night.  'til tomorrow.  

Love,

Gil

P.S. Get rid of these gas coupons I picked up.

Found a Flat--Dispose of Gas Coupons

Dear Eleanor,

          Another day and I really worked.  Put in twenty-four fillings and not all simple either.

          Stayed in last night, even the movie didn't sound interesting.  Tonight I'm going to see "Passage to Marseille" with Humphrey Bogart, Eric Dorn, Peter Lore and?  Hope it's good.

          I'm not going to do anything or make any arrangements about the flat until I've talked things over with you.  I suppose you're all excited now and making all kinds of plans.  Swell, but take it easy and don't make too many plans.

          Here at the clinic there is nothing new.  Six dentists are expected but who knows when?  There is room for five so that means someone is probably going to leave.  It'll probably be Dr. Saks, Dr. Jacobs or Dr. Boutte and then again maybe no one.

          It has really been warm out here and you know how much I like warm weather.  However a nice shower before retiring makes a big difference.  I think I'm still gaining weight, going to have to do something about that.

          I hope you disposed of the gas ration coupons.  Don't put too much gas in the Buick but have enough for the weekend.  I'm planning on calling on Oscar V. for a little on Sunday.  We'll have to get ahead plenty.  There'll be no place to chisel any gas down here.

          Not much else to say except that I'll try to be home early Saturday and I am looking forward to one hell of a weekend.  I hope you know what I mean.

Kiss my two girls,

Love,

You diddle partner
