Hi Love,
I won't write a letter tonight
but will call. I'm feeling pretty
low and feverish from a typhoid
shot I got at 3 PM.
It's 8:30 now and it's taking
effect. Hope ever thing is better
in the morning and I suspect
it will be. Will write a longer
note tomorrow. Just realized I
sent today's letter with an airmail
sticker an no airmail postage.
Wonder when it will arrive. Plane left hangar
today and engines were run up. Schedule still
looks like first. Love Wink
