Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 376]

324 (Blue swatch is sample of Boy and Girl Scout uniform material) Thurs Sept 13 9 pm My darling, I've been missing you so much the past few days that it seems a gross injustice not to be able to see you or even to talk to you by telephone - I try to remind myself that the war has dealt a lot more severely with others, as indeed it has. But it doesn't help much, I just want you, that's all. The men coming here from CASA are full of vigor and enthusiasm - they’re definitely glad to be here after their experience of the past few months, whether the war is over or not. I just feel, momentarily at least, tired of it and anxious to leave. But since I'm still not at all likely to leave here for several months I must recover my interest, and that will not be too hard to do with Lowe around. He has a lot of good ideas and it was just about time for a trained educator, especially one who can appreciate the difficulties we've been through and the practical advantages of what we've achieved, to take over and emphasize the academic side of things. I subscribe more nearly to Lowe's approach than to Tel's - tho I'll be honestly sorry to see the latter leave; his personality is so much identified with the place. But glad of a change, which comes at a very good time. I'm empty tonight Sweetie. I'll fill up again. No matter how [?] I always love you dearly Warren
