367 Wed. 7 Nov. 10:11 pm Dearest Sweetie By rights the tone of my letters these days should be ecstatic - and I think it will be when the facts begin to sink in. I may even be home for Christmas! I'm gradually getting used to the idea that I shall actually be leaving in a few weeks, and preparing to gird up my loins - spent the evening assembling little items like toilet articles and scraping the army labels off a couple of first aid kits I intend to bring home for household use (I've no conscience about that, because stuff like it is being thrown away) Tomorrow I'll take a medical trunk I've picked up to the paint shop for cleaning up and painting and otherwise begin getting things in shape. My cold, tho not gone, is much better [pg 2] and I'm past the stage of feeling very low on energy. I was so glad to hear that the chrysanthemums and sponge cake arrived as ordered - knew you’d enjoy the latter especially and of course I was tickled shortly after writing Sam to get your Love and Sponge Cake cable. Because I'm going to spend all my spare time on assembling things for packing, collecting materials at school which I may want to use later on, etc., I won't be able to finish the present I was making in time to get it to you for Christmas. I'll finish it sometime, tho, either here or at home. Goodnight, darling, - at least things seem to be taking shape and the era of lack and loss to be coming to an end Little sweetie is really growing up! The snapshots are swell. I love you Warren
