Dearest,


Hooray. It’s one day less that I have to wait to see you. The faster they go the better, now, because I love you and I haven’t got you with me. Tonight we had another movie- every Sunday and Thursday now- this time it was “Sundown”. I read the story in one of the magazines (one of those ?? I used to upset the house over, trying to find all pieces) and it left quite a vivid impression on my mind. I think it was a particularly good story. The movie got quite a lot of publicity when it came out a year or two ago- with pictures of Gene Tierney looking sultry against a ?? background + so forth- so I was thoroughly disappointed in it. I don’t think it makes much of an effort to follow the original story, and when the acting got hot + heavy I couldn’t even follow the movie story. And Miss Tierney certainly doesn’t add much to it- the only outstanding features of here performance is her bust, which always seemed to be highlighted so it was the most noticeable object (or is it plural?) in sight. Fortunately, she doesn’t appear very much. Before that we had the “Battle of Britain” of the “Why We Fight” series, which was good, even if we did see if by order at Ft. Sam. Having see some of England made it more interesting. I love you.
