#248 Somewhere on Tinian* Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Mon 11 June 7:15 am *Just now permitted. But we may not say where on Tinian (as if it mattered) My dearest darling, I was so pleased yesterday to get your letters of June 2nd and 3rd and to hear all about Wendy's birthday - I'll answer them today or tomorrow - meanwhile I'm waiting to hear that you've begun to receive my several long letters, particularly those about Walter. Last night I joined a group in the Officer's Club right after chow because a lad named Bill Stilwell was amongst them - when Charlie was here he had Stilwell up for the evening once and I've never seen a guy prolific in musical verse, vulgar or otherwise. He just goes on and on and on, and has a very infectious way of singing (whether it's an English ballad or a dirty limerick.) Last night didn't come to full flower like the previous occasion, but I did hear a few new ones and scribble down some old. I'm not exactly in favor of writing these things down - the enclosed (which I got from Ewing and Frankel before they left) I typed yesterday afternoon only because two or three men had asked for copies. They’re not nearly as funny to read, or course, as they [pg 2] are when sung by a group. During the next three weeks - then skip a week and resume for one week more - the entire population of the camp is to receive typhoid (3), tetanus (2) and cowpox (vaccination) shots. It won't be a problem to us at school - we just have to close the whole Korean school down on Mondays; about ¼ of the kids in the Jap. school will be absent every day during the whole period. It's a terrific job for the doctors, tho. Must get up to school early this morning to shoo home any Korean kids who may have come. I love you Warren
