What a long and interesting letter from Dart today! In response to Dot’s “interview questions” on his philosophy and belief system, Dart waxed eloquent for nearly 10 pages.

Before discussing the main topic of the letter, however, he assures Dot that she needn’t worry too much about his temper tantrums. He hasn’t had one in quite a while, he has learned other methods for venting his spleen, and “The less said about the subject, the better. After all, I’m trying to sell you something, (namely, me) and what salesman is going to build up the bad points of his product?”

I especially like Dart’s argument about right and wrong – maybe because it so closely aligns with my own views. Anyway, everything he had to say on a variety of topics is well worth the read.

Dot’s letter is another brief typed one as she tries to practice her burgeoning skill. The letter was inspired by the long typed letter she received from her sister Eleanor that day. They are challenging each other to practice more often.

The main news is really Eleanor’s news that she is in love with a “big chunk of GI,” a corpsman in the Medical Corps and a medical student. We’ll hear more about that romance as time goes by.
