409 Saipan - 27 December 10 pm Oh, Darling, Just learned that I am to leave her at 0800 tomorrow to board the Wichita! It is scheduled to sail for San Francisco and should be there about January 12-14. When it is a few days out the destination may be changed to another West Coast port, though it's not likely to be. Here is what I’d like you to do: follow the shipping news, if you can; stay at home, and I will telephone you as soon as I hit port. There will be several hours of waiting around, not a situation that will be easy for us if you meet me. I will give you instructions when I call, however, about coming up and by the time you arrive perhaps I'll be free. The next two weeks will be an eternity, but when it's over - Darling, I love you big and fine Warren Wendy, your Daddy is coming home! 409 Duplicate (in essence) Saipan 27 December Leaving tomorrow morning on Wichita, which should arrive San Francisco about Jan. 12-14. Try to follow [ship?ing] news, wait at home until I telephone instructions about coming up to meet me. There will be considerable red tape and waiting around, and by the time you arrive perhaps I can get most of that out of the way. Tell Wendy her Daddy's coming home at last, and as for Wendy's mummy - Mmmmm--! W.
