391 Monday 3 Dec 6:30 pm My dearest darling - “Madu desu” - not yet - by way of speaking of the expected arrival of my relief. He's probably stopping off for two or three days in Hawaii. I know it must be hard to be patient at this time, Sweetie, but of course I'll let you know the instant he arrives. This afternoon Lolita Warner and two other Red Cross girls came in to see the Korean girl scout first aid class, taught by Miss McMillin (see the pictures I sent you) - they’re doing very well. Today was the first time I’d visited the class since the moment it started. Now they’re doing all sorts of bandages, and doing them capably. 9:40 Well, I got my three letters, and all good ones. Am returning the picture of Valerie for you to keep - I think she's rather attractive, although, as you say, it's hard to tell from pictures [pg 2] and I look forward to meeting her. As for Emily Hahn, I can understand her sentiments regarding Major Bozer. You might stick this clipping in the book. #469-70-71 Loved hearing about “Bine Comb” - can understand the attraction of the little room upstairs; should think it ideal for any child up to ‘teen’ age. As for when to stop writing, I'll let you know as soon as I get definite word on when I'm to leave. I'll keep writing, of course, till I'm right on the ship and out at sea. Does Wendy know that your snapshots stand for you? If so - she really might know me - but I won't be surprised at anything. Shame on you for eating her animal crackers! But I like it better than seeing you eat 10 or 12 chocolates at a sitting. I very much like the idea of Muz's having a tea for you and Valerie - but am [pg 3] I supposed to be there? Aren't teas strictly female affairs? Just haven't got much to say tonight, but I did grin and feel warm all over on reading your letter - so characteristic of you that they brought you clearly to mind. I do love you, darling Warren
