#104 Sunday 14 Jan. 1945 8:00 am Darling, No mail for anyone here in a couple of days. I miss hearing from you but know there will be another batch soon. Last night for the first time I couldn't get to sleep - have been a little tense and restless ever since the second day of the pay line, which is something of a strain. It has just occurred to me that I could use some of that sedative (I forget its name) occasionally myself - do you think you can get me some? On the whole I feel very fit but it does irk me to get out of stride for several days because when I don't relax physically (a trick I've grown much better at in the past year or so) I lose perspective and good judgment, or have to take especial pains not to. At any rate I just don't enjoy being tense. - I enclose a couple of dollars, and you can let me know if it goes over that. Thinking of Walter Benson again, I wonder how George Corrigan, Will, John While, Oliver Benson, Bob Falk or loveless - any of them- will do in a place like this. Can't tell, really, but I would say that for such men, particularly, having gone to MG school was more handicap than advantage. Perhaps Fort Ord is somewhat more to the point, but the only thing really to the point is being out here - plus the background that a man comes into the Navy with (plus, of course, Boulder, which is invaluable). Hoping hard for a letter this morning! I love you, darling Warren
