February 17, 1944 - Trying to Quit Smoking Cigarettes and Thinking of Blondie

"...Truth is I've yet to start dinner but while I'm waiting for the breakfast dishes to be washed I thought a few lines to you would be a swell idea...For three days now I haven't smoked a cigarette. Catch of it is-I'm using a pipe. Don't inhale as much and trying to quit cigarettes entirely. Feel I shan't succeed though cause I get envious each time I see another smoking and get a whiff of his smoke. It's worth a try though and let's hope I can do it. Costs money to smoke and I'm out for a million (dollars)...Blondie's writing every day and I seem to be thinking more and more of her. Time will tell. She is nice though and as things go she's still number one on the hit parade..."
