Description
Have lost track of the number - seems to me it was around 390 so I'll start with that (last letter was a special with photographs and other enclosure). Sunday 2 December 1:40 pm My dearest darling, No letters in three days, but yesterday I did get a Christmas package mailed parcel post on Sept. 14th. It is numbered II. An unnumbered package (a tin box of the same size) mailed 1st class on Oct. 16th arrived here at least 3 or 4 weeks ago. I plan to bring both back with me in my seabag if they will fit; otherwise I'll open them just before I leave and tuck things away in my luggage here and there. Spent Friday afternoon and all day yesterday writing the monthly report, and since it was my first and last as Ed. and Rel. officer I put everything I could think of into it - Have just enclosed a copy in a separate envelope. Darling, I do wish you could have been along this morning when we took the girl scouts swimming for the first time. Lolita Warner and another Red Cross girl with Girl Scout experience hiked all the way [pg 2] down with them and encouraged them to sing - a thing which they are prepared to do with just a little encouragement anyway. It was delightful to watch them go into the water, splashing each other and making (for Japanese girls) a good amount of noise. The older girls concluded with a dance on the sand (“Dance of the Inland Sea”). Barrett came down to take a couple of movie shots and also got one of the group marching back. I hope they turn out well. This afternoon - in a few minutes - I'm going up to school to see if I can't finish making your present. For all the fuss I've made about it - it's nothing wonderful - certainly not a work of art - but is just a little unique. Hope I get three fat letters from you tomorrow morning! I love you Warren
