Hi Toots:

            It is my day off, so naturally I am at the office.  It is good to be busy again, and I sure am.  But I am, as usual, my own boss.

            I have gotten some dribbles of mail and will scan through and see if there are any questions I should answer.

            Ouiji board is nuts—at rate I’m getting home, we’d better not have a boy born in 1945!!!

            I spent an hour today looking for a Christmas present for Mother.  I’ll keep looking and find something.

            So you’ve taken up radio repair?  Maybe I should let you work that end of the business. 

            Kitchen table sounds good.  Would like to be mixing up salad on same now, although I’d have trouble keeping my hands off of the cook.

            It’s funny as hell how many good pilots flew a hell of a lot, went home, and are back for more—and how many slightly yellow ones manage to stay home for years and years.

            By all means get to see Marge and Louis.  They are a couple of my favorite cousins.

            I am returning the clipping you sent me, as you requested.  I obviously can not comment on same.

            Tell the animal it better get over being loving before I come home.

                        Love & kisses, Toots,   Cy
