1944 November 25: No one compares to you

11/25/44  Italy

Bona Sera, mioglia mia:

            Come esta?

            Toots, until I came overseas I didn’t know what “out of this world” meant.  Tonight, I learned.

            A couple of us were looking at the #1 bar maid.  She looked nice, legs, hair, breasts, etc.  But, being a nasty guy, I started comparing.  When I considered what I had at home, no comparison was possible!

            I met the wives of some of the foremost thinkers of Italy once.  Smart women—molte intelligentsia.  But I wouldn’t trust them to handle my finances, write my book, and conduct what little business affairs I have.

            The Vulcano kids have been raised in style, traveled in a Parigi, etc.  But if they bought me a pair of socks & a tie, would I wear same?  Hell no!  Nena & Emma hit 85%, but only one gal ever hits 100%. 

            Well, it boils down to this.  My world here is rather complete compared to most officers.  But the capabilities of one little ol’ gal are just plain out of this world.  I love her, admire her, respect her, and oh boy—do I want her!

            I guess you’re stuck, Marfy.

            Your very own, Cy.
