December 26 [1944]

Dear Pete

So you noticed, eh? It finally happened on the 16^th of Dec.

Your turrets were undoubtedly slowed down. I've seen movies in which they whip around with some speed.

Telephone circuits are right in my line. One would be fun to make. The circuit is simple, but you do need money for the mike and phones.

On Christmas I rode a tandem bicycle to Palm Beach and went swimming with some beautiful girls. It was a lot of fun.

See you later,

Linus.
