Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 215]

#167 Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Sat. 16 Mar 7:30 am Darling, Here I am all moved into Coach's and my new apartment” - it's larger than a pyramidal tent which usually houses yours - consisting of the northern end of a quonset hut divided into three. The three sections are [?] separated from each other and each has not only its own door but a porch besides. Ours overlooks the orphanage - day nursery across the street in the midst of which stands a very large, full blooming Bougainvillea. Painted in two shades of green - a distinct color below and an off white suggestion above the window line our ‘apartment’ looks like something more than a mere utilitarian place to dump our things. Our furniture, to be sure, is crude, and I don't think I'll both doing anything about that here (as some have) - it seems so fruitless to try to live tastefully out here without you to enjoy it with. (Henry May wouldn't share that attitude.) Anyhow, altho I like comfort and some degree of order, there are too many other things going on to be bothered much. It's late and I must go - last night a long and tiring pay line (the last but one, on Monday); tonight just an English class. I love you Warren
