9/8/44: The Germans launch the first V-2 rocket on Britain.
9/8/44: V-Mail, Corsica
Angel:
It sure is pleasant to sit here looking at your picture. In fact, it is so pleasant it makes it difficult to study at times.
I’m gradually grinding through Everitt, but is an effort. I have forgotten some of my math, but my chief difficulty is that I haven’t used it for so long, I am slow and clumsy and make innumerable mistakes. But I am doing it thoroughly, which should result in a solid knowledge.
Everyone over here is waiting for the end of the war, without even any good rumors about what then.
I was quite amazed to receive a letter from Bob Webb. I forwarded it to you.
I haven’t had a letter from you for weeks. Be a good gal.
I love you, Cy

Honey:
Got your two letters today.
The chair is about what I’d like.
You probably strained your arm working. Take it easy.
AWVS sounds ok, but take it easy and don’t tie yourself down.
Please send Sokolnikoff’s Math for Engineers & Physicists. If you can’t get the others in one package, let me know which ones to re-request.
#48 [Bombing mission supporting invasion of southern France] was over very unfriendly territory (at the time) but you can see the address above.
The pajamas were strictly for private consumption—and I do expect to see you (or thru) them.
You’ve probably gotten my letter requesting a monthly statement, so I won’t repeat. Heck, you should have the 500-1000-1000 deal all set by now, with the $320 you’ve already rcv’d & the $500 I just sent after that, take any I send and split it half furniture and half bonds (instead of savings as I once suggested).
The car plate and insurance sounds good.
That’s all for now. I’m busy as hell.
Love you, Cy
