Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 428]

375 Thurs 15 Nov. 9:15 pm May as well use the enclosed envelope while I still have that address! My dearest darling This afternoon while I was momentarily out of camp trying to get a date for tomorrow night's party at Army Hospital #374, the camp had its first fire: our beautiful school kitchen. It was not completely ruined, tho it might well have been since several barrels of fuel oil were ablaze, and the large new warehouse which has just been completed escaped only after burning oil had been invaded it. Barrett and two of the Nisei happened to be there and quickly got ahold of the school's 10 large fire extinguishers, also organizing a bucket brigade, and were able to hold it in check until the fire department arrived. As long as there had to be a fire I'm sorry I missed the excitement. P.S. - I didn't get the date. Barry and I sat up late last night talking to Mr. Schwartz and I'm dead tired, am going right to bed. I love you Warren
