Description
360 Thursday 1 November (WJ Day) 8 pm Darling, It was this afternoon about 3:45 when I stopped in at Supply to pick up my pay that Comdr. Kenney, who happened to be sitting in conversation with Art Fickling (the Supply Officer), looked up casually but with the suggestion of a suppressed smile and remarked, “Oh, say-uh-Johnston. There was a letter came in a little while ago that you’d be interested in. You'll find it on Wylie Nelson's desk in Headquarters.” A transcript of that letter, which arrived without forewarning right out of a bright blue Tinian sky on the very day when I had achieved my critical point score, is enclosed. But before you read it, get this - I still say January, in all probability, tho this cinches it for no later; Comdr Kenney cannot afford to let me go even when this comes through (it will take from 3-6 weeks, plus breaking-in time) unless meanwhile he has picked up a couple of language [pg 2] officers, and that may take time. This letter does not refer to a language officer. Those are all the restrictions, sweetie, but remember those. O.K., now, go to it! There - feel any better now? I love you Warren
