#269 Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Sunday 8 July 1945 My darling, Tonight I'm a bit sore where I sit on my little pink fanny- having started with several brief exposures of my tummy to look a little brown there. I took my cot (an extra one for sunbathing) into the shower this noon and lay on it for over an hour - perhaps a little long for a first exposure. Apart from the long siesta I put in a rather busy day today, ending with sitting in on a P.T.A. Directors’ meeting at the school suiji at 5 pm. Some times soon I'll summarize school activities for you. #318 (the one after that which I received yesterday) - Yes, if Chuck Mulligan will be operating out of Saipan, there's a good chance that he might get here - that is, if he makes a particular attempt to. I'm not free right now to try to get in touch with him [pg 2] Sweetie, I had that lovely, mellow all-warm-inside feeling of belonging to you and knowing you - it just came over me - as I read the simpler sentence - “I'm glad the EFM arrived on time - you really must be well in the married state to forget our half-year anniversary! But of course, I'm only teasing darling” Yes, I am really well in the married state, and I love it. I've already written to have the books returned to Carmel, sweetie. If they are delivered, just put the box, unopened into the garage. Then if I should be reassigned thru CASA I'll see to it myself that they get on some ship, even if I have to find a CB to look after them. Have already mailed you “The Three Bamboos” and “The Honorable Picnic.” About babies, darling - of course it is time enough to decide when we've had another, and waited awhile, and know where we stand [pg 3] both physically and economically; and when that time comes, you are entitled to two votes to my one, and so it shall be; but if it is possible, I do so want us to have four children, darling, and I won't give up the hope until I know that it's unreasonable or unfair to anyone or all of us. Can't say why, exactly; it's part conviction, mostly feeling, plus a desire for variety and the hope of distinctly individual children who will both hang together as a family and yet be different personalities doing different types of things - Oh, there are so many things to think and talk about in that connection. But I will never try to talk you into it; at least one of your two votes will have to be on my side. And perhaps when the time comes I'll agree with what you say now. There is more to answer in this letter and to do it justice I must leave it till later I love you very much Warren
