Honey:
Are you surprised at the early date line? Well, since it didn’t make any difference in the mailing whether I wrote last night or this morning (mail leaves at 09:30) and I had a headache last night, I figured today would be a better time to write.
Guess Ray is due here today. I’ll wait for him at headquarters and welcome him home.
I haven’t heard anything definite about my next assignment, but they sent out a draft of 30 Yeomen just the other day and I missed that one, so I went to Central Administration to try to find out why I was missed and when I could expect something to happen to me.

All my love,
Ivica
