Letters: April 14, 1952

    My Darling, The minute you walked out to the airplane I started getting lonely. I watched the lights of the plane until they disappeared and I was lonelier than ever. I guess I’ll have to marry you so you can’t leave again. Incidentally I helped the pilot take off. I didn’t think he was doing such a good job so I took over. Kind of silly huh?
    I called Mom today and she was going to call you this evening. She was real happy, as I knew she would be. She really likes you. I’ve made all the arrangements necessary for me--meaning I can get a leave--even thirty days--in July. Also called up Sixth Army Hqs. and told them what was going to happen. They did have on orders for instrument school at Tulsa, Oklahoma for June but set it back until our honeymoon plus a few weeks. It will be the latter part of August before I have to go. By the way, do you know anyone in Tulsa? I don’t.
    I got back to Camp Irwin okay but a little sleepy. Got in about one o’clock. How is your schooling affected by your absence? I hope you can make it up but don’t worry about it too much. I have a pretty good job lined up for you with good working hours, good pay, and the conditions will be superior. You can pick out the uniform yourself, and the vacation schedule is all-year around. --mocka-mocka-joto--
    I guess you and Mom have made the arrangements for you coming down to San Jose. I’m going to try to get off early enough so that I’ll be there early in the evening.
    Okay hon, all for now, and please write right away and let me know how you are and if you got home okay and how school is and etc… Say hi to Shirley for me. Bye for now.
