Dear Lydia,

It is the middle of the night and I can't sleep so I will write you a letter. I am tired of being apart, tired of wanting you, tired of waiting. During theses days of boredom when I can't make myself do anything I think of you constantly. I want to do so much. Buy you presents and say things that will make your eyes glow. Meanwhile I am telling myself to meet 6,000,000 relatives who still think of me as a boy, but my mind is set and I am ready.

While I'm writing -

The June week cottage is in Beverly Beach. You have to go to the office (its like the gate house at Sherwood) of the Bryant Real Estate Co, phone #UN-7-2081. The house is in the name of Mla Pantry 2/C. It is called "the Davis place." It is 7 minutes from USNA so a cab might cost. If you get in before 5:30 call Mike Novakat (rm 7276) at USNA. He said that he would be around all day till then to drive you, or if he isn't around maybe Bill Natter (room 5220) could help you. Saturday you can either study go or/either Mike or Billy to the sports in the yard. Bill is not staying at the same house so you would have to get in touch with him Friday night. I will most probably call tomorrow or Thursday at about 6P.M. to talk.

Some day when it is quiet and alone I will find the right words to tell you how much I love you, how long these years have been without you. It is enough now to tell you that I don't sleep nights, thinking of you.

Love,
Michael.
