286 Tuesday 7 Aug. 11:15 am Beloved, I love you so very much- your letters, so full of life and eagerness and warmth, are (despite anything you may think from my occasional touchy interludes) a constant source of joy to me. I can picture you so readily reading my letters on the spot, oblivious to everything else. I frequently read yours, as I did today, walking back from the post office to my quarters- Must wash up and go to lunch now - will resume later. 12:15 (just wrapped and mailed you that package of miscellany I spoke of a day or two ago.) Darling, stay just the way you are - I love you so much - I want you to keep on growing (as you have been so remarkably), of course, [pg 2] but most important of all is that I want you to be you. I loved Wendy's first crayon drawing and will carefully put it away. It was such fun to come across similar things, and to read of Wendy's activities as well as of your own of awhile back, when I was scanning a large portion of your letters for mention of Chuck and Marge. Haven't heard from Chuck - it's a little early yet - but am confident that I will soon. My reason for not writing yesterday was (in addition to the movie, which lasted till late) a baseball game from 4-5:15 in which the Nisei boys invited me to play with them against the male employees of Japanese suiji (kitchen) #7. It was a goodhumored game and I enjoyed it; am mildly stiff all over today but it feels good to have stretched a lot of muscles that I haven't exercised in some time. Wednesday 7:10 am Last night I announced to my English class - [pg 3] a little reluctantly, but with a sense of relief - that I was giving up one night a week and will hereafter teach only on Tuesdays. (Last week I went back to the office 5 nights in a row - Monday to Friday - and that's just too much!) On Mondays and Thursdays I really have to be there for the movie, because the projection equipment is my responsibility, but I'm turning more and more of the work over to Murai and whoever of the Nisei boys who has the Duty of the Week. Darling, it does distress me to hear [?] the days when you don't get any mail and though I can't prevent letters from bunching up, I can at least write everyday - I'll try again. Writing you is no mere obligation; it's my chief pleasure and satisfaction. I love you will all my heart Warren
