#262 Navy #3247 (Mil Govt) FPO San Francisco Sat 30 June 1945 7:15 am My dearest darling: I'm sending you in two separate envelopes two rather prettily embroidered handkerchiefs, presented to me by the Korean asst. campleader, the one who writes me little notes every once in awhile. He's given me various other little things, most of which I've sent on to you, and I’d like some time before I go to give him something in return. Altho, of course, it was made by his wife, he should be the recipient of any return gift. Will you see if you can find a necktie, one that you would choose for me to wear (but don't spend more than a dollar) - a botany (coarse weave) tie would be good because it can be worn with large knot and open collar. Not that I like that style, but nothing but open collars are worn here. That's the only thing I can think of to give him, but I'm sure it would be acceptable. Sorry I can't send the money. I owe Arthur $15 [pg 2] and Slicer $3 (the latter for a dictionary - we bought a set of Jap. Engl. - Eng. Jap between us, he not being able to use the later and I not having one) That's just because I changed my mind and bought Wendy a 18.75 bond for her first birthday. There was a bond drive on, but I had wanted to get her one anyway. It should be along in a week or two. Night before last we showed National Velvet again. Despite generator trouble and getting started an hour and a half late, it was a huge success. Best picture for the kids we've had yet. Do see it if you can. They clapped hard at all the exciting spots in the race and were otherwise very responsive. Yesterday morning I had no time to write - had to get Tel to the airport by seven (just off on a little errand); last night was English class. Have lots more to write you - till later, darling I love you Warren
