Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 42]

Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 42]

2632 Woodley Place June 22 Thurs. 10 p.m. Darling, I enclose the letter to Grandfather not as being of any especial interest but because it gives you that much more to read. So turn to it now and save this for dessert. (Be sure to put card and clipping back in before you seal it. Refreshing is the word for tonight's and other little talks with you on the telephone - they have meant so much, serving to dispel that isolated feeling that begins to creep up every few days. Yet I know now that no matter how long I should ever have to be separated from you I should not lose the feel of you. I liked getting your new notepaper tonight - red may not be a summer color, but it does suit you. - Don't worry about Father and Mother and the apartment, dear. Nothing will come of it. Here it is with Thursday night gone already and I haven't got at the checks yet! Tomorrow night I may go to one of the Watergate Concerts (sort of on the idea of the [Lewis?] Stadium popular concerts, but with the show floating in the Potomac and the seats on shore) with Hugh and Toni, if it's one that interests us. However, I suppose I'll have the whole weekend to do such trifles in. Being with Hugh a part of each day has been good for me. He is very gentle with and tolerant of people as private personalities and slow to pass judgment, but very exacting in connection with public or job responsibilities. I am inclined for readily to demand less in the latter respect and paradoxically be more critical (as of Will Ebling) in the former. Sweetie, it's getting past bedtime again (I've been switching back and forth between the letter to Grandfather and this one) - so goodnight, and may you be dreaming of me as I write this line. I love you darling Warren
