Hello Jane:
Receive both your wire and latest letter last night when I came in.
I’m glad that your wire was in the right vein because now I will save a couple of days from my leave for the time when you shall come up.
The problem in my mind-are you coming up on a leave of absence, permanently, for just dashing up?
Today I am leaving for Otis and then, after a stay there, am going on to Tilimook. So you can see that good communication are necessary if we are going to see other.
Please write right away and let me know what your plans are and when you will be up here so I can put in my request for definite days of leave. I am taking a couple of days for the holidays and must tell headquarters when I want the rest.
If you’re going to be swell seeing you but I’m warning you that I won’t try to stay on my good behavior.
Write "quick like a honey"?
Just
Ted
