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.

My address -
Lt. W.F.H.
Navy Supply Corps School

Soldiers Field
No. C-26 Gallatin hall
Boston, Mass

Please tell them at home you got this and that I will write tomorrow.

All my love,
Bill

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

BOLIVAR, NEW YORK

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
