I’m in another hospital now! This one is a honey. The nurses are all homely, but both they and the docs are pleasant as hell.
The clippings are from the weekly Stars & Stripes which is put out of Africa, censored so we can send it home.
Hey Toots, buy and read in small bits Joe Davies’ “Mission to Moscow”. It explains a lot of things which have happened and are happening.


My God, I’m homely! I got accused of looking like Clark Gable today. I’m taping my ears down tonight.
Local crop of nurses all vote you best looking of patients’ wives. I agree.

P.S. As if you didn’t know, I love you.
