Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 268]

220 Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Sat. 12 May 7:25 am Hi, darling I've got a slight head this morning - one of the army guard company officers made 1st Lieut. After 3 years as 2nd (he was commissioned originally from the ranks) and provided several saved-up bottles of liquor to celebrate the occasion. I didn't join the party till after class-about 8:30-but the liquor was fed me faster and it didn't take long to catch up. It was a good noisy affair - mostly singing, of course, as there's not much else of a boisterous nature to do around here. The enclosed is a song Joe Seannell (Capt., adjutant) picked up somewhat recently (probably from one of the reporters who's been here - we get a lot of good stuff that way) and is fast getting into circulation. I think a group of us including me are expected to sing it tonight at the long-planned party for all enlisted men (Wong is going to hula). Tomorrow I'm going to try to take the whole day off - if the weather's good I want to go out in the M.G. fishing boat for the morning. I'll take pen and paper with me. I love you, darling Warren
