August 21 1944

Dearest Lady,

This is a terrible typewriter, I have my own portable at home and this one here temporarily so forgive the results. I find that I sort of like to have one at home for it is better writing you in the evenings when I can be alone with you without these interruptions all the time. Yet I do have the urge to write you during the day so maybe I can have two. I guess as long as I write that that is what you are interested heh darling.

This will only be a note since I have received no mail for several days and I believe that I have written you all about our move and goings on in the last couple of days. The house is all straightened around now and this morning we are getting the office in shape. You know—throwing away all the old paper and getting things arranged so we can begin to function again. I have a nice office very big and COOL for a change. The last was really hot in the afternoon but this is right back in the jungle and with a fine breeze blowing all the time. We are up on a hill sort of which helps a lot. I have sort of a Mussolini office now, big as all outdoors but with only the bear fixings, no deep chairs or rugs my dear—isn’t it awful my, my.

Jimmy tells me that he made reservations for you in Mexico for September. Have you changed your mind about going down there? And who are you going with? I know that September is as hot a month we have in Texas so I guess it will be a relief. I am trying to get that Orlando school detail moved up for myself from November to October. The second Monday in the month it starts so that would put us with last of October and the first of November for leave. That is a beautiful time of year for leave don’t you think? The reason I am making the change is that I just can’t wait and I want to be with you as soon as it can be arranged. I hope you will forgive me for being over anxious but that just can’t help. You see the girl that I love is just so wonderful in my eyes that once there is a chance of getting to her I just fret the days away till time and the less the days the less fretting I have to do. Besides November sounds a whole lot longer away than October. I don’t know just how it will turn out but yours truly will be on the job you can rest assured. Oh how wonderful that is going to be. My honey babe on the fall of the year. Darling I just can’t wait. I am glad that I left that woolen uniform there for I will need it I suppose though I guess that Pajamas will be more in order knowing how you and I loll away the days around our little apt. How is the apt. situation coming out with the old man?

Sweet I will write more when I get that mail which I hope will be today so until then all my love to you dearest and adios till later.

Edwin
