Dearest,
Just got through
"schmussing" with Dr. Denny who is standing watch with me tonight.
Last night I went to the movie and
saw Sinatra in a real stinkaroo. This morning was quite
busy. This afternoon was dead. I only saw one
patient. Did it rain in Santa Monica during the night? We
had a real cloudburst here.
This evening I saw "Henry
Aldrich Haunts a House" and found it quite amusing. Tomorrow night
"Madame Curie" is showing but I won't go to see it. I'll
wait to see it with you.
Called Nina Hursey. She
is busy getting ready for her vacation beginning next week. She insisted
on my dropping in on her before she leaves, so I promised to call on her
tomorrow (Thursday) night.
Things aren't bad here during the
day. The doctors and corpsmen sit around and talk when they are not
working, but when evening comes, they all go their individual
ways. I do miss my "girls."
2230 o'clock (10:30 P.M.)
Just had an emergency call, a sailor
with a dry socket. He was here yesterday and this morning he asked
for relief and they gave him aspirin. A lot of good that
did. I cleaned out the socket and packed it. Now he is a
new man.
Am going to go to the BOQ and turn
in. Dr. Denny lives off base so he will sleep at the
clinic. The new watch list was posted this
afternoon. I'll be off this weekend. Next week I have the
Friday night watch which means I'll leave as soon after 8 A.M. as I can on
Saturday morning.
My Sunday watch is on February 20 so
I'll have to get someone to trade watch with me. I think it can easily be
arranged.
Am getting sleepy. Nighty
night and pleasant dreams hone. Only two more days and one more
night and I'll be home again.
Love
and kisses to all my girls.
As ever,
Gil
