Shucks, that isn’t such a bad situation! Whatcha worryin’ about? If you can find another job, just take it and don’t say anything about it being “temporary” from your viewpoint. If I get sent to Scandihoovia or someplace, it may not be temporary, hi. In any case, just keep me posted and I’ll take care of you if you need it.
I’ve tried to find a shell necklace for you, but there just ain’t no such animal. I’m glad the folks located one. I haven’t heard from them, so I guess everything is ok.
So the old battle-axe isn’t going to bother with us. Well, frankly, good!
Okey doke on no engagement announcement in favor of a wedding announcement. I think is a good plan.
As soon as we can get squared away emotionally and financially, we’ll have Chuck for a visit. If everything works out ok, it may be an extended one. (Don’t mention it until we can talk it over).
The picture isn’t a good one, but it should be moderately interesting. Sketched map shows set-up in detail. Notice palm trees.


Yippee! Cross country up to Abilene today. Tell Gordon that we flew back from Houston at night with 300 feet ceiling!
Please return the enclosure. It looks like we’re all clear.
Boy, it’s cold as hell. Dropped to about 50 degrees and I used four blankets. Maybe I need someone to keep me warm. Honey, it’s going to be a hell of a life for you, but I do love you dearly and shall try to make things as easy as I can.
Time for mess. Your husband, Cy.
