Dearest,
Here it is the middle of morn at the office but I'm taking time out to send you the news. Leone just called to say that Carol got a telegram & a phone call from Jerry. He landed yesterday at Boston and e is being moved to J.B. Carol has a married sister in St. Louis and Jerry wants her to go tonight to meet him at J.B. Isn't that enough excitement to warrant a special bulletin?
When they announce the new point score in July we will know whether or not you will get a discharge. I dreamed last night you were out in our block going up and down the alley greeting people. I haven't dreamed of you for many months. I mean dreamed in my sleep - I dream when I'm awake of what it will be like when you are here again. 
Hazel said Irene had a very good night last night. She is sick and miserable but doing all right. 
Hazel & I somehow got to discussing  you coming home. Oh I know, I was telling her about Jerry. She figures you are waiting for a point discharge. She's heard it said 75 will be the new score. I made a mistake last Sat and told her 72 in error She said she & Earl had been talking it over and in a few months you'd have enough points to get 75. They don't read the rules sharply or they'd know it says points as of May. I said you had written then I told her you had 77. You might change your mind and apply, but you weren't just at that time. Then I agreed it
