410 Later Tuesday Night 11:15 P.M. My Sweety: Since I finished your letter about nine I've been in a turmoil. Gerry stopped by on her way to the P.O. and took it down with her. While she was gone I fixed us some drinks, and she returned bringing me your letter of the 12th and two from Reni dated the 21st and 22nd. We sat here drinking and reading, and I had just launched into a discussion about the SM, when he appeared bringing your nice fat letter. Oh my sweety - what that letter didn't do to me -At first I was disappointed in your reply to the Captain's question. And tho now after rereading your letter several [pg 2] times I understand better, I'm disappointed that you didn't say 2 or 3 months rather than 3 or 4 on the chance that you might get home for Christmas. But please don't say April, if the point score is lowered in November you will surely have enough points, and if not the end of February should see you thru. I imagine the exclusion of MG and Language Men is temporary, to take care of any emergency, and will be lifted soon. If anything else comes up don't hesitate - once you get back you don't stand much of a chance of being sent out again. MG is so glutted now that they will probably be glad to get rid of [?] as fast as they can in another month to six weeks. I don't mean to scold darling, I understand [pg 3] your point of view perfectly, but some times its worth it to take a chance. Write me more about it if you can. I'm letter happy receiving four and a Special after such a long wait. It was considerate of Kenny to show you your fitness report, and I am proud of you darling - you have been swell about this whole Navy business from the beginning, tho I've groused about it continuously, and probably will continue to do so til you get out - But please don't keep saying April - its very frustrating. Evelyn Ball sounds like a good gal, and I'm glad you had a date with her. I do hope she phones when she gets into SF. And I hope to hell you get into SF soon, I'm going to explode if I have to wait much longer- Cause I love you, and love you, and love you - Bobby
