233 Wednesday Evening 5:00 P.M. April 18 My dearest darling: Gee, scuttlebutt is cruel - Will Ebling just stopped by and the first thing he said was, “Well, I hear Warren is coming home.” Of course I asked him where he heard about it, and he said John White had told him. Also said you were now in Hawaii. Heaven only knows where it started. Will is working with Johnny K. now, the latter has just been put on Captain somebody or others staff as language officer - By the way, his wife had a daughter about six weeks ago. Johnny is to have something to do with billeting - Will is going to speak to him tomorrow and see if he can find out anything about you. The Presidio is going to remain organized til 1947, under a new program which has just been set up. [pg 2] Will also said that the Office of Strategic Service is begging for language officers and can’t get them. Ruth and the two babies are coming out during the next two or three weeks, and they expect to have their car sent out. I’ll be very glad to see her again. Gee honey - I feel awful - right now I’d rather be any place at all except - Carmel - I hate scuttlebutt, especially when it concerns us. 6:45 That little bit of misinformation has certainly thrown me for a loop. I’ve just taken a hot bath trying to calm down, but I still feel jumpy - guess I’ll do some sewing. 8:30 Feel better now, and have my feet on the ground again. Just hope things like that don’t happen too often. Was very sorry to learn of Ernie Pyle’s death this morning - it is a [pg 3] shame. No mail this morning, but received #195 and the pictures this afternoon. Sugako is darling - She looks older than 8 mo. What fun Wendy could have playing with her. Do have your picture taken with Sugako if you ever can - we’d both love it. That’s quite a family picture of the Meens - what are the cloth ties hanging down the fronts of the two little girls? Is that a baby brother or sister? I’d like to play with s/he and make it laugh. Super’s shoes still continue to amuse me. Got the last of the duplicates today, should have them all off to you by the end of the week. [pg 4] Tomorrow night Bev and Isabel will be here, and I’ve asked Gerry to dinner Sunday night - Hope I get thru it alright - haven’t done any real cooking in a long time. Took a picture of Wendy standing without holding on to anything this afternoon - she’s really getting quite good at it. Guess that’s all tonight sweety - I love you with all my heart- Bobby
