Fran to Bill.  Apr. 9, 1945, Sat.  New York City 

Fran Carroll (SAM Columbia) to Bill Allman (SED Oakridge) 

3280 Broadway, N.Y. to Sergeant William T. Allman, Oakridge, Tenn.

Bill darling,

  How you bother me- But only in this way will I mention at the moment.  NEVER call me up again- from Tennessee- Alaska, California, that’s another story, perhaps.  I insist.  I demand.  I won’t answer anymore.

a.       I am not awake, regardless of the hour, to your various references, innuendos, half-remarks.

b.      I spend too much subsequent time stamping about- mentally- thinking harsh sentences & being doubly irritable that I am unable to deliver them.

c.       I have a vast aversion to chatting by way of the telephone. 

Bobbie and I came in to work at eight tonight after a hard afternoon of shopping and were about to give up in despair (11:30).  We plan to sleep long and thoroughly thru the morning.  We go to a shower in the afternoon for Helen.  Helen and Dan will be married next Sat. night here at Riverside church whereupon I expect our department will close down for a good portion of the morning.
