Friday
Cara, Dear:
We are sailing Sunday. It’s two days sooner than we expected.
Tomorrow I will have my first and only day off and I have a lot of things to do. Get teeth pulled, etc.
I wish I had more time to write this letter but if I had a year I could do no better so please separate the two things.
Any money that I offer you has no strings. So please take it and use it and use it as you need it.
Now honey I am going to tell you things as I think. I know it will be a jumble. Do the best you can with it.
If I have time, I am going to send my bag to you with my suit and top coat. Please have them cleaned and ready for me when I get back.
They are rushing us so they must need our cargo someplace. Our deck load is all Pilings. So they must be going to build a dock somewhere.
This is the second big adventure Cara, you were the first. The rest of the things I have seen do not count.
Your letter did not come in time so I did not know what to do so I did this.
I opened a joint account at the
Bank of
Market Geary Brauce
S.F.Calif.
They will write to you and give you all the details. They will receive $50 a month on the 25th of each month and you are authorized to check against it. Use the $200 to take care of Brink, your shoes, the stuff from Maples, etc. and if you get in a spot use the rest but let me know if you do.
If you do not hear from the bank in two weeks write them & ask why.
If I send the bag there is a lighter for you and the ring and also my keys in a Cigarette Carton.
Now Cara
this has no connection with the rest. If I am to live alone in the future I
have found the place where I am going to live but my hope is that when I come
back to
When I get
back to
Believe me Cara you are a part of me that I can never get over. Love is a small thing, you are part of my mind, yet I can & will half live again as I did in Chicago.
Love
Ray
