Dearest Roman,

Did you hear? I don’t know how it works over there but I imagine it must be chaotic trying to get information with everything going on. I’m sorry if you’ve already heard this. Actually, I’m sorry if you haven’t. Bill Thomas, who played with you on the Centreville Sox. He hit .270 that last year, remember? He joined the Army Air Corps, like a lot of folks around here signed up after that last game, after you and Nardini and the rest were called out by the mayor, for the crowd to cheer, and with the band and everything. I’m sorry. I just heard that Bill Thomas was killed. He was a pilot in the Air Corps, like Ted Williams. Bill’s plane was shot down in North Africa. I’m sorry.

Roman, you told me that if I felt the need, that I should feel free to tell you if I feel you are being too boastful so I am going to take you up on that right now. You have to stop. It’s scaring me. You cannot say that you cannot lose, because you can. You can lose, as fine a soldier as you are, you can lose. We all can. I’m scared.

I can’t write any more now. I had more to tell you, but it will have to wait. I’m sorry about that. I’m sorry for Bill, and I’m sorry for scolding, and I’m sorry for saying I’m sorry so much.

It’s all right for you to be confident, but it’s not all right for you to be stupid.

I’m not calling you stupid but if that’s how it sounded I’m sorry for that, too.

But don’t say it anymore. Please.

Love,

Hannah
