Dart’s news today is that he has been sitting in a chair for long stretches. That doesn’t tire him out, but he works up quite a sweat getting back into bed and pulling the covers up!

The rest of his letter was in answer to Dot’s in which she enclosed lots of pictures she’d taken of her campus, roommates and herself. Dart likes the photos of her, but says she’s prettier than the pics, and there weren’t enough of them. He plans to shoot lots of film of her if he ever gets a leave.

Referring to her earlier statement that he could have whatever he wanted if he’d just name it, he said “Well, I know it’s in the genus pulchra Americana puella, and it’s name is Dorothy Lois Chamberlain, known as Dot. Now may I have it?”
