Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 394]

Tues 9 Oct. 7:55 am Good morning, Sweetie - At this very moment the World Series is tied at games 3-3 - 5 seconds ago the Cubs, with two outs in the last half of the 12th inning, make their necessary run to keep the series going. I seldom get excited about baseball, but this game (the tail end of which some of us listened to after breakfast) was an exciting game. No mail from you since before the storm - that is, no air mail. I did receive the pkg containing the pajamas (darling, they smell so good - I can even feel you when I'm wearing them) and the extra grays. The Al Nav on lieutenants with 24 months service has come thru and Barrett, with 31, has only to pass his physical to make Lt. Cmdr. He is one of 3, with 2 others following in the next 3 months if the thing is progressive. We'll be lousy with gold braid. Barry, of course, is delighted, and since I think he's appropriate material for Lt Comdr (I wouldn't say the same for all) I am pleased to see the effect on him. No word on the jg situation - I'm sure it must be 18 mos., tho I can't help hoping a little- I love you, darling, and miss you terribly Warren
