273 Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Friday 13 July 1945 7:15 am My darling, It was so good to get three letters from you yesterday - I’d almost forgotten what it felt like. Thank you for the lock of golden brown hair - I’d be delighted if it did turn out to be curly, tho that doesn't matter so very much. It's a lovely color and texture. Glad you like the picture of Tel and me. I thought you would. I took my second roll of 35 mm film the other day, mostly at the 4th of July track meet, though I managed to have 3 or 4 pictures of me included in it - actually, Kouchi and I each shared half of two films (one his, like the camera) for convenience, but will only have to cut them appropriately. They should go to a developer within a few days - problem is to find me who won't take several weeks, but I think I know one now. I'll send you the booklet on Japanese foods in my next package, whenever that may be, and will also try to find out about the shrimp batter for you. Incidentally, there are few if any [pg 2] dishes you would want to prepare in the booklet; it will be more a matter of academic interest than anything else. So Walter may actually get out of the Navy, eh? (That was 322) #323 - There's not much smell left on the flowers you send, Sweetie, but I always enjoy getting them; this time honeysuckle, isn't it? And thank you for the tiny shells. I'm so sorry to hear about another cold - what a nuisance it must be to you. But I feel good about your knowing how to take care of her so well, darling - and yourself. #324 - Maybe you can have our next baby at home, darling. Let's try to plan it that way. George C. and John W. are certainly asking for it, aren't they! I suspect tho that George is a little too old and John a little too dumb to make the grade as N.A.s. Can't tell, I suppose. Yes, I knew that Trumbo went to Colorado - guess I just forgot to mention it. [pg 3] Why don't you start on ‘a better diet’ now? I think I can understand it, if you don't. I hate to eat alone, too, tho I used to like it in the days when I got all wrapped up in ideas. Now I am more interested in people or in being with them - especially two of them and most especially you. Oh, darling, I do miss you! Keep on the trail of Kempner and let me know what sort of stuff she writes about the Marianas. #325 - I imagine Bev'll settle down all right when [B?] gets back. He'll give her at least as much attention as any of the others could, and that's what she needs - refuel, change of oil and a [Simonizing?] job at least twice a week, vigorous driving all the time. (Also got a long envelope, enjoyed the letter from Doug) I love you, darling Warren
