This brief note from Dart has a sense of desperation about it. He has eight letters to answer but this is just the second one he’s written and the day is nearly over.

He attended church that morning. He says he’s still supposed to avoid sitting too much, yet must learn to sit again. What has he actually gained from these months in the hospital?

He felt pretty low all day. He claims that if he doesn’t get home before Dot leaves, they may as well just transfer him to a padded cell in a ward reserved for other unfortunates who cannot see their sweethearts.

He ends the very short letter with the comment that he dreams of their near future (and far future too.)
