#318 Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Wednesday 5 Sept 1945 10:30 pm (no more censorship) My darling, I was a little disappointed to find no mail from you on my return from Saipan this afternoon, but no one else seems to have received any either. It was awfully good to get away, and it seemed much longer than a day and a half. Though I was tired when I left and was busy on the time I was there, I came back feeling refreshed and even a movie in the auditorium tonight under trying conditions (rain, crowded conditions, technical problems) did not make me impatient. I was successful in various phases of my errand - picked up (or rather assembled, for shipment in a day or two) film strips, Japanese broadcast records, film, the promise of a better radio when an expected shipment arrives in Saipan (that is, a radio which will [pg 2] pick up Japan clearly), a record-making machine which I thought we could use in our English program (unfortunately, the records are of a special type which I believe must be played back on the same machine) - the main thing I was to check on was a P.A. (public address) system, but I found that it had already been shipped and when I got back here this afternoon it had preceded me. We'll make good use of that. Tel has been promised a piano by one of the departing units (Keith Spurrier's, but he has been dealing with the chaplain, Yearick) and what with one or another office or unit leaving we’re picking up all sorts of things we could never have obtained under ordinary circumstances. I know well enough that if we didn't take it, it’d sit somewhere and mildew; so I've no compunction over taking such expensive stuff to use on civilians. Well, darling, I'm in for another several busy days and had [?] my beauty sleep. Tel expects to leave in about 3 weeks. I love you, darling, and wish so much that I could take you with me on my travels - they’d be six times as much fun! Warren
