| Jim's stationery for this letter |
How is the sweetest girl I know? We just got in this afternoon from Halifax. We had a real good time there. The people were the nicest and most considerate I've met since I've been in the service.
We didn't get any mail while we were gone and I got six or seven [letters] from you today. I'm not going to try to answer all your letters. I don't have enough stationery and I must write my mom tonight.
I sure did miss you on our cruise to Nova Scotia since you came out here. I love you more than ever. And miss you more.
Darling, only twelve more days 'til my leave starts. Remember when we were counting months? Then weeks. Now, it's just a matter of days.
We got our new captain aboard. He seems like a real nice "swab," much better than the one he relieved.
This weekend he gave everyone but the duty section a long (72 hours) pass.
I called you tonight but you were out, so I told them to tell you I would call back tomorrow.
No, I'm not surprised at Millie G___ "making out" and I suppose you also know how she managed it.
Sweet thing, I'm gonna sing off for now.
Answer soon.
I love you, Doll,
