316 Sunday 2 Sept 7:30 am Darling, You’d better be glad I'm not attached to the language pool in Hawaii as are so many of our Boulder friends. At this moment Charlie Frankel and Evan Davis, both of whom expected (I believe) to be home in October at least for a leave, are on their way to Japan; perhaps they have arrived. Don van Koughnet saw them recently in Guam. They spoke specifically of going to Kyushu, and mentioned the fact that practically the whole pool has broken up and gone West. That's a natural enough development, but fairly unexpected because everyone thought MacArthur would use no more than a token number of Navy Language and M.G. men an now it seems as though he's taking all he can get his hands on. Tel is naturally upset - or just mad - because it appears almost certain that, when his letter goes through a week or so from now, he'll get back to Hawaii only to be sent to Japan for several months without leave. If that's the way it goes, it's too bad, because he has worked hard over a long period of time and [pg 2] deserves a break; he's about the only one of the Fall group who hasn't had leave. But his brother-in-law Addie Parker (also Fall group) got called back after he’d had two weeks of his leave. I think we have reason to be glad that I'm here and will be for two or three months. By that time most language men will have disposed in the field and there's a good chance I won't be sent out again. As you can probably guess, I’d love to go to Japan, but not at the expense of being any longer away from my darlings. I do miss you awfully, Sweetie. Now - do this for me; it may be important to us. Check up and find out exactly what Boulder men are left at CASA (of my group), what they are expecting, etc. If they’re not going to Japan but can't get out of the Navy yet, one of them may be available as my relief. Several of them have backgrounds in Education, and I should think one of them might like the job. I'll write more later in the day, darling I love you Warren
