Marfy:
I’m afraid I didn’t sleep much last night, just lay awake thinking of you. It doesn’t make much difference because I don’t have any work to do. But it is stupid of me, just like dreaming of having a million.
Get hold of a December 27th Life Magazine and look on pages 60, 61, 62, 63, 66, 67, 68, 69, 78, 82, 83. They are all scenes and places with which I am very familiar. Some of the pages have no numbers (48-81) but you can number them yourself. The paintings are good but the pencil sketches from which they were made are excellent. They are all most lifelike (or should I say deathlike).
I’m about to go nuts sitting up here doing nothing. The OM has been kidded into believing people on this job have been working hard. If I tell him the truth, it will make two of the boys look even less like a man, so I guess I’ll just sit and see what happens.
I’m still trying to figure the angles on a night stooge squadron.
Honey, keep on loving me even if I am confused. Love, Cy.
