394 Friday 7 December 7:45 pm Darling, In a few minutes I'm going to look in on the birthday party of the one-year-old son of our Japanese police chief - Arthur Szathmary is also going. But first things first, good news or bad (and this isn't too much of either): Carlton Siegler is to relieve McMillin, the Agriculture and Fishing Officer, temporarily, so that McM can get away on Monday. He already has his orders. Then Siegler is coming up to the school to relieve me, as soon as Thorpe arrives to take over Ag. and Fishing. I cannot tell from that news just how soon I will get away. It was a disappointment, but I was also told that Siegler might begin getting acquainted with Education right away so that there would be no delay in releasing me when he is permanently transferred. [pg 2] 10:45 pm Gosh, sweetie, I wish you could have been there at Yasuko chan's birthday party tonight. Went over thinking to stay a few minutes and have just now come back. The Okinawans have a certain freedom of spirit which makes any occasion when people gather together a gay occasion. Yasuko chan herself performed by imitating some of the dancers with her hands, hula style. Joe Louis (our name for the police chief) remarked that she was the first of his 3 girls not to have walked by the time they reached their first birthdays. But, he said, she imitates everything. The last couple of days have been full and interesting - I'll write you about it tomorrow. I love you, darling - wish I could bring you and Wendy out here for a month, travel home with you Warren
