1944 September 11 “I have found some work to do”

9/11/44 V-Mail, Corsica

Hi Marfy:

You sure are cute sitting here on the desk in front of me.

Things in general are rather uninteresting here, although I have found some work to do.

I realize I am driving you crazy buying things for me, but I am determined not to go through another winter with only one book to study—and that one not in my field.  I hope to be back where I left off school before I start in again.  If I work hard, I can not only get my technical stuff, but may know enough French and Italian to pick up credits in them (as liberal arts options).  That my make it possible to finish in 2 semesters instead of three.

I wrote a check for $10 today to Institute of Radio Engineers for a subscription.  I am trying to joint same, as it will help.  I should have done so 7 years ago.  It is hard to get money orders.

I love you, kitten, even if I can’t ever seem to get home.    Cy.
