It’s another chatty, somewhat sassy letter from Dot today. She’s not sure what these “booster shots” that he mentioned are, but if it’s a morale boost the Navy seeks, they’d get better results by delivering some mail to these poor homesick sailors!

“And before I go on any further, let me remind you for the last time, I’m not going to join the WAVEs!!!! Maybe you’ll get just as sick of reading that as I do at reading why I shouldn’t.”

She’s happy to have his enthusiastic support for her cause of getting his parents to make a trip out east this summer. She already knows they can’t come during her vacation, but anytime this summer would be great. How happy she’d be if they could meet her family and her family could meet them.

At the moment, she and Nancy are lounging across their beds listening to Tchaikovsky’s 5th symphony. She says Nancy would welcome it if the music put Dot to sleep, because that’s the only time she stops talking about Dart.

She goes on for another paragraph, gently teasing Nancy about how her blushes match her red hair. She tells Dart the two of them have been laughing so hard all day that she’s sure to get a good night’s sleep tonight. “I don’t really deserve it, as I haven’t done anything to speak of all day. I’ve done lots of dreaming about us, though. Gosh, but dreams are wonderful things!” I’ll bet Dart loved the mental image of his lady love in full laughter. I’m sure it will brighten his gray surroundings when he pictures it.
