Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 449]

398 Thurs. 13 Dec. 7:45 am My darling, Last night I put on a full program (about an hour and a half) of newsreels at the school - the Japanese language and caption ones we've been getting from the U.S.I.S. (formerly O.W.I.) - and saw International House! It was shown in a picture of Navy Day celebrations in New York, along with Riverside Drive, Central Park, Lower Broadway, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, etc. Gosh, Sweetie, there's no indication yet of when the next man will arrive. I guess I'm just stuck. It won't be for long, of course, in any case, but will be just long enough, perhaps, to spoil our chances of a holiday celebration and mine of salvaging a day or two of 1945. Spent an interesting hour yesterday in the War Room of the 313th Wing (the B-29 wing from which both atomic bombs were flown). The enclosed are what were carried by B-29 crews for this identification - you can read the French. Time for the weekly officers’ meeting. I love you, darling Warren
