May 19, 1945

Dart writes a very short note tonight. He got a couple of booster shots today and his arm is swelling up and feeling stiff. He wishes his whole body could plump up as quickly as his arm has!

Still no mail delivery! He has a theory that if he would write to some people to whom he’s owed letters for a while, letters from those people might come the instant he dropped his in the letter box. It’s worth a try to jump start mail delivery again.

“Just between you and me and the rest of the world (if they’re not too busy to listen), I’m getting awfully anxious to see a familiar, neatly -lettered envelope again. Let’s have some more stuff about the WAVEs – where you may go to boot camp, etc. Better let me know first what the recruiting office said. I hope they had a heart, just this once.”

That’s all there is for today, and no letters are coming tomorrow. Both our young lovers are back on the 21st. See you then.
