391 Friday - September 7 - 6:00 P.M. Oh Sweety: This has been a hell of a day - Wendy has been cranky and ornery, and I've been all out of sorts. Hope we don't ever have a repeat on last night - at least not til you’re home to help me. Your news of the language pool, received this afternoon, is rather disturbing especially following up on CASA. Navy MG over there is completely wiped out now. Walter wrote yesterday that Navy MG was to clear off Okinawa on September 7th. Men with enough points would be coming home, the rest of the men dispersed to island bases, and I think some to Korea. That leaves [pg 2] MG without any replacements, and I suppose you will not get home until you have the required number of points. Our one hope will be a reduction in the critical score. It isn't a very happy picture right now - dammit - and its frustrating as hell. By now you have my letter telling of news of Chet received via Betty. That 90 day deal is probably what the Jap. Lang. men are in on. If that's the case its understandable, and won't be too much of a hardship unless something unexpected happens. The Boulder men at Casa along with the rest have gone, but I don't know any more than I did the other day. If you ever do get a replacement it will probably be as [pg 3] liaison officer rather than Education. I hate this waiting and not knowing what's going to happen. When rotation was still in effect we knew we would be together this spring, but now there's just no telling, and its awfully hard to think about. Tomorrow morning sure - I'll send you the money order. I was just too tired this afternoon to walk down and back. Saw Bev in town and she wants to know if you can get a doll (small size- like Wendy's) for Isabel to add to her large collection. Bought some of the most beautiful, large asters - deep rosy pink and a lovely shade of purple. Wherever we go next, it must be where we can get lots of flowers - preferably someplace where we can [pg 4] have a real flower garden. 9:00 Have been very virtuous wrote two letters and did an ironing this evening - And, in a very few minutes, I'm going to bed, and to sleep I fervently hope. Sweety - what do you want to do about Christmas cards this year? I suppose I'll have to pick them out for us - Suppose I do it soon - have them printed “The Warren Johnstons” and send them out, or would you rather do it? I just can't work up any enthusiasm, but I guess there's no point in dwelling on it. And don't you speak any more about going out again - if you do you'll have to take Wendy and me right along - we’re not going to be left behind again- We love you darling - so very much Bobby
