363 Saturday 3 November 1945 Darling - Have the duty again tonight and it's been pretty busy so far - my cold is much better despite a full day out in the weather which included intermittent rains (and we don't have a top for our new jeep yet). Spent the afternoon scrounging at the 50th CBs: mostly for our military setup, with school items incidental - one good haul for the school, tho, was a large paper-cutter (about 30” square with a big blade). On the personal side I picked up a good small trunk for coming home with and think I can get another for storing items which I'll leave on Tinian if it develops that we’re coming back out this way in a few months; also 2 bottles of B. (thiamine hydrochloride) tablets, which are supposed to be wonderful for preventing hangovers - a bottle for each of us; some Benzedine tablets (I refused a whole box of inhalers) and a bottle of Seconal capsules. Incidentally, honey, I [pg 2] don't think we should have occasion for using the latter more than 2 or 3 times a year at most if we’re together, unless perhaps when you get one of your especially severe cramps. The only thing I can think of that I’d use benzedine for is some occasion when I had a speech or a piece of writing that I couldn't get going on - it really works for that. No mail from you in two days, and no further news from my end. Tomorrow morning a special breakfast is being served in the new officers’ mess but I think probably I shall sleep through it, dreaming of you - [DRAWING] I love you, darling Warren
