My Darling Chotie,
I've just received your letter, and am replying post haste.
Well Precious for once - Good News! I put in for 7 days on Sunday, as I thought I had a chance of getting away tomorrow. This morning I was told by the Company Commander - the one we saw in the Pavilion with four women (?) - that I couldn't go this week as the CSM was going amongst others, but he has granted it for a week tomorrow (i.e. next Tuesday the 9th).
All leave may of course be cancelled by then, but we can only hope...By getting it on a Tuesday it means that I get a full weekend at home. California, here I come!
This morning I was inoculated with T.H.B. (i.e. the worst one) and can't move my left arm. I'm supposed to be in bed, but who cares. At any rate it doesn't hurt yet. I've got 48 hrs excused all Duties, which is something. I expect I'll be on my back by tomorrow - but the thought of 7 days will keep me alive.
I had a letter from Monica* this morning - as usual full of woes. She doesn't like the thought of corresponding with me when you disapprove. However Frank dislikes her writing to me anyway!
I'm afraid I can't write any more Darling as my arm’s giving me hell.
Bye, bye Darling
Your loving
Dicker
