you C.O. bothered by any letter from George. And I didn't say whether you submitted the factory offer or not because he'd perhaps have the story out to all the boys that you'd be home soon. When you actually get here it will be soon enough for the boys to hear of it. I hope you are home soon, but if it is rejected the ferver who know it the better.
If it is manuvers you are on, and you go next to a U.S. camp please phone me up the first night possible. I desperately want to make plans to follow you in American Camps until you have to go overseas, and I don't want to lose time getting started winding up my work. If I follow you and then you get a defense job that will be heaven on earth. I've decided whether you go overseas, stay in U.S. camps, or get a discharge eventually, I want to have all the time possible with you regardless of which assignment you draw. If you get this letter when overseas, then you will know I've spent all the time there seemed to be when you were here. If you're in U.S. we will be lucky. In any case, we will be tough. 
It isn't quite nine o'clock so you see I've written at quite a pace, still it has been almost an hour and a half I guess. If I can make any of the things - beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, or abiding love - mentioned in Woolcott's quotation live for
