Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 242]

#195 Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Wed. 11 April 10 pm Sweetie- I just caught my breath with delight when I opened the envelope of snapshots (letter #215) and saw those two pictures of Wendy with a hankie-shawl over her head and two delicious expressions on her face - I love them too, and I know I would choose these first amongst all the wonderful pictures of her you've sent me. This whole collection is good. I'm sorry that whoever took the one with you in it didn't do a better job on the lighting because you look natural - and honey, you sure look good! The one of Wendy with the pen in her mouth is another precious one. But they all are, really - I'm especially eager now to receive that little plastic case (just after you mentioned it I saw one of them on the desk of some enlisted man, and if you hadn't already got it I should probably have written asking you to look for one.) How about having Norman make enlargements of a few of the good ones? They’re worth if the detail is clear - judge by blades of grass, the pupil of the eye and such things. I have all your letters thru 216 except 211-12. Am completely lost again as far as answering's concerned, but this at least I can tell you - I read every word of your letters, the clippings you enclose in them and those in the long envelopes - I seldom read (or even open!) rolls of newspapers anymore because I just haven't time, but I read Life and will read the New Yorker, which started coming today. I love you terribly, darling Warren
