Description
315 June 27 - 9:15 P.M. Wednesday My Dearest Darling: ‘Coach’ Hager and a Lt. Robinson from Saipan have just left. I was awfully glad to meet them, and get the straight dope from CASA. Evidently Navy MG is to be in on no more future operations - and that the Presidio deal will be off this Fall, tho replacements will probably be sent back here. There is a skeleton staff at Pearl, now working on post war plans for the Carolines. Coach thinks if you get back here, there's a good chance that you will stay. He thinks that he will be able to resign or be put on inactive duty, as will a few more of [pg 2] the older men. Right now they’re having a swell time, vacationing and playing golf every afternoon. Both Coach and Robinson agree that if you have to be out of the country you’re in the best possible place. If MG does fold up, I’d just as soon you stay where are til we see what happens to the Boulder men here. I'm sure now that the two replacements Will phoned about are two of the twenty you speak of in your letter tonight. I was awfully glad to get it because I have been on tenterhooks. Two false alarms now - I hope that's all, and that the next information I get will be the real thing. Do you think in view of the way things are now that you might get home in four or five [pg 3] months? Is there any hope for Christmas? -that would be wonderful- Little things Coach brought out in the conversation brought you so close, and made me realize that tho we will have grown some, essentially we'll be the same i.e. (“that man has more books…”) Its fun to talk about you, and I'm glad to see men who have been with you, even if I am jealous! It's 10:00 now I've been to the P.O. and am very sleepy. Promise a real letter tomorrow - my letters to you have been skimpy this week - partly because nothing has been happening - partly because I've been feeling so tired. Today has been my best day - guess rest does help - Love you darling - with all my heart - Bobby
