1944 April 24 Settled in apartment at HQ

4/24/44 Italy

Hi Marfy:

Like the new address!  I’m back in the section of the country I was in last September, but it sure is different now.  I am in the communications section, and have little to do, but it is interesting.

I now live in an apartment.  I am in my room now, writing on a desk.  My clothes are hung up, shoes shined, and everything.  Even an indoor, flushing variety 1-holer.

My desk at the office is even larger.

My room-mate is section executive named Perry.  He is an old army warrant officer and is one hell of a good egg.  The young kids in the section are also swell, and I have no trouble mixing.

Honey, promotion may be nil, expenses higher, and little flying, but your OM is on the way to being one hell of a lot happier in this job.

Your own pest, Cy.
