3/3/44  Italy

Hi:

Whatya mean!  I’m not getting laconic, I was just making sure I answered everything.

Your bracelet and brooch (both cameo) are on the way.  The mountings are good silver and cameos are supposed to be good.  I don’t particularly like cameos, but it seems a shame to be over here where they are made and not get any.  They and your coral necklace and bracelet are your birthday present.  I hope you like them. (Nuts—the roof leaks).

The grapefruit & orange deal sounds like a good present for the folks.  I only need one thing for my birthday present, and it looks like I won’t get her.  There really isn’t a damn thing you get for me. Just get a case of beer, some cheese, and Ritz crackers on April 25^th and you and Nancy have a private brawl in my honor.  Then both of you write me a letter before going to bed.  I’ve driven 100 miles in the rain today.

Goodnight—I’m all yours.  Cy.
