take you back home for a long rest and talk and many other "sketches for sculptures"

I'll write you often and I'll tell you what happens around to me and to us. You better write me to the other address: 2677th Hq. Reg. (Exp) OSS APO 512 c/o PM N.Y. because I'm not going often to the Navy and I can't go there every day to pick up my mail. I don't know how long I'm going to stay here and as I told you I have new sound reasons to be optimistic about going home. I want to go home and stay with you, I don't want to pay you a 2 weeks visit only. I think this time I'll do things all night. Little news here. Civita sent me a clipping from "Vogue" where they published a drawing of mine and a photo of mine (I look like a survivor on a raft) and call me all sorts of important things. I sent the New Yorker 18 drawings from Italy and I'll make a few more. These drawings (China & N. Africa) were usefull to my interests here, they made me quite a bit of publicity and I obtained things thru them. The Italian drawings are quite nice, best done so far. My hand is itching for drawings. I have like a thirst for sitting on a tall chair at a drawing table covered with white-yellow paper as a background or cover and then a book of white smooth paper, a bottle of Indian Ink
