Dearest ,
I haven't heard from you since you
left. I hope it's only a delay in the
mail and nothing else. How do you
feel? If you haven't sent me the
"A" book on the Plymouth please do so right away.
This has been a busy day for me. Not because we are particularly busy now but
because I felt like working. I only saw
six patients but I put in twenty fillings.
I could just as well have made twenty sittings out of the six, but one
gets tired of loafing all the time.
One of Dr. Taylor's patients, a cook,
brought in four large steak sandwiches for lunch. I had one plus a bottle of milk and feel
quite full still.
Last night three of us went downtown. Stopped in a bar for drinks. Turned in.
Tonight I may go to a movie. They
are showing "Lifeboat." Maybe
I'll leave it for tomorrow night when I stand watch. It all depends on how I feel.
Everybody enjoyed the gingerbread cake (the
icing was not sour). I ate the apple for
breakfast plus a couple of cookies.
Excuse my rambling, but everything goes down
as it comes up (I mean my thoughts).
It's just been a couple of days since you
left and I can hardly wait for Saturday night.
Love,
Gil
