Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 92]

#44 I do need something - an alarm clock! Can you buy a second hand one anywhere? I'll never travel again without one, because I sleep through everything else (Bugles, practice air raid drills…), - except on vacation - Hate to miss breakfast - When I have to go to work at 5:45 am, and sleep till 5:30 (chow is from 5-6:30) Sat. Nov. 11 10:30 am Darling - Last night I got 8 letters from you and was delighted - but cheated of patience's reward by having to work an evening with only time to scan them hastily before going to bed. I was unable to write the previous evening either - am really busy at the moment taking on new responsibilities which I'll describe to you shortly. I'm regretting just a little the promise of a letter every day to Muz - but two a week wouldn't be so bad and you’d still have five to yourself (I don't mind writing her - just sharing our personal correspondence. Don't have time for both regularly) I'm going to let her know that I'll do that. There are lots of camp activities she'll be interested in hearing about and which won't be so personal. Mama's going to Memphis really complicates the situation, doesn't it? But there's a possibility that you might still be needed there and that perhaps might be the answer to the question of living in Carmel, if you were away for awhile it wouldn't seem quite so lonely. Darling, I don't insist on your living anywhere and any time you need help in deciding to move elsewhere, I'll give you the necessary encouragement or try to make suggestions - but just give Carmel the benefit of any doubt, for my sake. I loved your letters - I want to answer them in detail. Have to work tonight and again tomorrow night - so it will be a day or two. Just couldn't avoid missing one day's outgoing mail - but that won't happen more than once a month or so, and 2 days practically never. Glad you got both packages. I cheated you by taking the menu out of its cover - it had the Chinese characters and names of about 50 or more Chinese dishes. I'll bring it home later. Time for a brief note to Muz and then 11 o'clock chow I love you darling, very, very much Warren
