There is no letter from Dart today, but my sister Nancy sent me a photo of him aboard the Haggard. Could this be one taken by the ship’s doctor with his contraband camera? We’ll never know for sure. It’s a little blurry, but you can still see how very young this sailor who writes a fine letter really is.

Dot’s letter is one of the shortest she’s ever written, but it carries some big news. She has given notice at Franklin Simon. “I’ve at last decided I’ve been getting absolutely nowhere for almost a year and at a very low salary. I still don’t know where I’ll go but at this point any place that’s a change would be welcome. Maybe Nancy Lou and I will join the Cadet Nurse Corps.”

I think she’s quite right to strike out and see what else the world has to offer, but I’m sure they’ll miss her a lot at FS.

Speaking of Nancy Lou, she and Dot are spending the day in the City tomorrow, and Dot must sleep now so she can write him tomorrow and tell him all about their day.

She loves him “very, very, very much. Maybe it’s the Spring Fever, but if so, I’ve had it since September 25th, 1943.”

As a final thought, she adds the the temperature in Greenwich reached 80 degrees today!
