Fri. P.M.

Mary dear -

No mail from anybody at home yet. Hope you have received my address by this time and that something ill be coming along tomorrow.

I have been “bending my elbow” this afternoon. After class my roomieand I walked over to Harvard Sq., about 1/2 mi. We have to wear our garrison caps, the kind you like, when off the post. This area is alive with Navy and Army men - so I am bending my elbow most of my way up and down the street acknowledging salutes.

There is about the same number of Naval men over at Harvard Sq. as here, approximately 1000.
the Army’s Chaplin School is over there too. If I get a chance I will try and locate ???. Donald Sunday. he will be leaving here soon as their’s is a 30 day Cou?? too.

Hope to get into Boston tomorrow P.M. and get some shoes. Also see a movie, anything to get a change.
Some snow fall her elast nite, about 14 inches. Hope you escaped this one. Going to be cold tonite - clear and about 15 above now.

Wish I could think of something to say. I a m looking for a letter and thinking of you all the time. I don’t have much time to pray now - so you will have to do most of it.

All my love,
Bill

My mary -

The first day is about finished. It’s 23:00 and lights out at 24:00. No more o-o for awhile.

My train didnt get in until 1:15 and I got out here at 2. Only asked where I was this A.M. Filled out a lot of papers, had room assigned, supper over at 6:30 & in the room since. Classes begin tomorrow. We get up at 7.

My roommate is a bank examiner from San Francisco, Cal. He flew in but was grounded in N.Y. & didnt get in until I did.

I’ve sure thought about you a lot since last night. Hope mary & you got back to the Hotel ok and that the roads were allright today.

Will have to make this short - but I am thinking of you all the time.

Thursday-

Mary dear-

Well, dear, how is the big city? I do hope you and “Aunt Rettie” are standing up under the strain of it all.
I ate at the Apple Tree Inn on the way home and had a very enjoyable dinner. In fact, I’ll bet it was better than what you received on the plane. Must have been a beautiful evening to fly down, wish I could have been with you.

I got a letter from Mayers today about the watch. Because of the defense etc. they are unable to furnish an Elgin. However, they suggest some other kind as a substitute. The price is approximately the same. Throught I would see Rita and ask her about it, but we haven’t crossed paths. Cosnsequently, you can understand that I have been at home and in bed very early these evenings.

Did you call Joe Commiskey? Also, did you get the shirts for me?

I haven’t heard from Doie about the trip Saturday. In fact, I don’t know yet whether I could go Saturday. This was news to me, and furthermore, on his advise I am to get a telegram advising when ou will reach Buffalo. Is all of this True?

Your letter has not reached me yet. I do hope you haven’t been too busy to write. Please thing of me anyway, I want you to, you know.

I have thought about you a helluva lot and have missed seeing you so much. If you do have plans to come home Sat. please wire me and I’ll be there to meet you.

I do hope I hear from you tomorrow. Good Night, dear, be a good girl, d-e-a-r.

All my love,
Bill

7/3/41

Mary dear-

I am writing this before I call so that It will get in the mail tonight.

Received word from the ‘big shot’ this morning that he will be hom Monday. I really have something important, which requires an answer not later than Tuesday, to take up with him.

In as much as he will be here Monday. I believe it advisable to remain here. I know I could come down and back Sunday, but I would really like a little time to do something on my next N.Y. trip. I am sorry, cause I believe you will be disappointed, at least I am.

They told me at the Buffalo airport yesterday that they are going to continue at Rochester only when weather conditions at
Bflo. prohibit a safe landing. If you come Saturday we will do something in Bflo. that night. How’s about it, let me know?

Haven’t received a letter from you yet. I hope there will be one waiting when I get home.

Saw “Aunt R” this P.M. she was headed for Hide-Away, giving a party for some of the girls.

Otherwise things in town are normal as far as I know. It has cooled off several degrees and it was possible to sleep last night.

Please don’t stay away too long, I miss you a double “helluva lot” and wish I could be with you right now. I have thought about you often, in fact when I am not working it is incessant. Hope you are able to decipher this.

All my love,

Bill
