Hi Sweetheart
Notice how I’ve lost that bashful feeling--anyhoo, you being my legal advisor, need assistance. Remember when I told you about the higher paid help starting to make up my test for first? Thought they had finished a couple of days ago, which they did, but it seems the chain of responsibility just was passed along. Today, I’m working at my flags very diligently, when a bar an’ star sticks his nose into my little den. This character, probably thinks that I was the swab-jockey, asked me in a rather secretive way, When’s the confidential publication. Never one to be led astray by honeyed words, asked the gentleman (Congress says so) what an why for. He sez, “Tis for a little quiz I’ma makin up--they need two hundred questions on the Navy.” I opened the locker and he takes one of each book, then asks for more. He already had about 15 on seperate subjects, but it seems that there were more--he
said. All brave like, in my mousey way, asked him who the test on all that stuff was for. He beamed from ear to ear, and said he was just trying to keep some aspiring 2nd-2nd. (trouble)
In a knowing way, nodded and bid him adeau. Now Miss Dix, my problem is; shall I take their test or get the satisfaction of seeing all those man hours wasted? Honest Hon, don’t think they want me to pass at all--don’t give a damn thou, just want to be 1st class with you. Really do--drew a hundred skins today but was broke. May drop a little in the mail later in month--living conditions are extremely costly out here. Did have a taste of stateside bourbon today--some striker make a deal. Liberty chit for a small cup of Black Label. Would gladly have shared some with you Sweetie but oceans and oceans away.
I Love You Always
