Letter from Bobby Johnston to Warren [Letter 273]

212 11:00 P.M. Oh sweety: A little bit ago while I was reading in bed a truck drove up - I heard something plunked on our front doorstep and then the truck drove away. I hopped out of bed - opened the front door - and there were your Easter flowers. I'm sure you could have heard my heart beat all the way out here. The flowers are beautiful and smell so good - narcissi, jonquils, blue iris, and another kind I've often stopped to look at, but didn't know the name of. You would have laughed to see me arranging them - bare feet - our blue and white pajamas - and hair pinned up - Tomorrow I'll take a picture of them for you- Darling - I love you so very much, it makes me feel all shivery, calm, and good at the same time whenever I think about it, and that's always- Your loving- Bobby
