Night Duty
Dearest in all the world -
I'm so so happy for you and wish I might be near enough to hug you both but hope to in May. [illegible] sent me some wine ") and it came just as I was going to sleep in my hamock in the field. You can guess I didn't sleep much. Am longing for your letter to hear all about it.
I feel [illegible] to think you aren't alone any more and that you have a lovely woman to share things with you - enjoy the good things and the beautiful spots in life and to help you get through the dull sad ones. Will you give her a [illegible] hug for me. I feel almost as excited as if I had gotten married myself.
Are you going to still live in Asheville. Write me everything. I'm interested and its so maddening to be so far away. I've been hoping for this ever since you told me about her and Cousin Emily has such a great admiration for her too in that she has told me [illegible] how lovely she is.
So I'll try to wait patiently till I hear from you direct but you will write so that I can get over to see for myself in May.
If you wrote [unclear] to Ambassador Page telling him I am crossing it would help me a great deal (so the authorities tell me here) with my passports and papers and I will write to see him when I pass through London on my way over.
Give her my love. What can I call her--in my mind I've called her ""Sylva"" because the picture you sent me of her looked like a lovely one I saw of Carmen Silva.
Goodbye my blessed Favie and all my love to you both.
Glory
Mrs. Maxwell just wrote me that my diplomas and pin were n Paris and I'm getting 4 days leave to go get them--isn't it splendid. She also wanted to [illegible] if [illegible] American Nursing service.
