Dear Mama –[2]
Please pass
this on to Marion
as soon as you read it.
Captain Rogers
talked to the Colonel this morning, and he said that any time I want to go to California whether it’s
today or a week from now it can be arranged that I fly out. It will be a
business trip so no expense is involved. So if Marion wants me or if she should get any
worse please phone right away and I’ll be out on the next plane.
This is a
special arrangement, so don’t discuss it too much with anyone – they might get
the wrong idea about army travel. But this just shows what a swell person the
Colonel is.
I’ll come
out whenever Marion
says. If there is no rush I’ll take the train. It can be arranged for any time.
If Marion is OK
I would rather wait a little so I can take her places when I get there, but
whatever she says I’ll do.
Take
care of her.
Love,
Walt[3]
