#278 Wednesday 18 July 1945 8 pm Dearly Beloved - Still no mail, 3 whole days (though there may be some for me tonight; I missed mail call this afternoon and will try to catch Steve after the movie) This evening after supper I drove Baird, Boyle and Booth to a B29 area and drove around amongst the planes - a jeep looks so ridiculously small beside one of them. Returned to our quarters, the first two and I sat around and talked for awhile in their room. Both brought a dozen or so good books with them, ranging from James Joyce and Elizabethan plays to the Modern Library edition of the Bible - whose illustrations, by the way, are not up to those of The Brothers Karamazov. Thursday 7:15 am My name was posted outside the post office and I thought, Here's where I cash in - two or three letters, at least. Not even one! Just a letter from Muz in New York. But it'll be fun [pg 2] when they do get here and I'm speculating now as to what is holding up the mail - first time in several weeks that it's been at all irregular. Jim Boyle has just come by, wants to know when I'm going to work; so I had better take off. I love you, darling Warren P.S. be sure to send me some “Postmaster - May Be Opened for Postal Inspection” Labels I have a pkg here I can't send you without one W.
