Description
#160 Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Thursday 8 1945 8:30 am Dearly Beloved, Sat down last night planning to read Emily Hahn until 8 (as I did) and then write you - just about 8 someone came in to say that Colonel James had just called up to say that he was going to drop in for a few minutes, and just about all of us traipsed over to the officers club (our temporary one in an otherwise empty Quonset) to greet him. The contrast was rather significant between him and the esteem and fondness (as well as easy naturalness) with which he is regarded by all the officers and men who served under him, [pg 2] and the uneasy relationship of everyone to his successor. But I’d best not say more about that. Had it been anything else last night I should not have let it interrupt - I did want to write you. My letters these days (such of them as are hastily scribbled notes) are full of little apologies. That's bad. I must forget the apologies and just write. IT is hard sometimes to find the time, but - Mailman's leaving! Love you Warren
