Wednesday evening 8 Aug. My dearest darling - There are so many lovely flowers hereabouts which I’d like to share with you - it's little enough I can do to send you these. May they bring you more of the same joy in life that is reflected in your correspondence no matter how deprived you feel in a large part of you - it's a precious heritage for Wendy, my darling, and a blessing to me. I love you so much more than words or even flowers can say! Warren Thursday 9 August noon Dearly Beloved, The bearer, Lt. Geo. Clark, who leaves Tinian tomorrow because of circumstances which he will be better able to explain than I can do in a letter, should have a good deal to tell you about life here at Camp Churo. One of the seven Navy officers sent here as observers, he liked the place (with everyone else) and was sorry to be ordered back. When he came up to school I showed him some of your flowers - he will probably best remember the zinnias, which had just achieved an especially lush bloom. If he stops in for more than a moment you should have no trouble in getting him to talk, as he enjoys conversation and visiting. By all means invite him to have two or three drinks on the house. I am also giving him a package to take to you. It contains a Green wristwatch which is the property of one of the civilians to whom I promised to try to have it [pg 2] fixed. My intention was to mail it directly to the Green factory, but I've searched several different magazines in vain for an advertisement which would give the address. Underneath the censored outer wrapper (remove carefully) is another wrapper with an address label. Will you look up the address (just the city will do, I'm sure), fill in the address, tie the package with cord and mail it first class insured? Then you may forget about it, because it contains a letter from me which will ensure my getting the necessary information as to price, etc., directly. - Thank you sweetie. You can thank our lucky stars that I'm not coming home on the same terms that George Clark is - that is, unless the war is over before he goes out again. It might be - but in any case, I'm not complaining. It won't be forever darling! I love you Warren
