Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 136]

Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 136]

New Year's Day 1:30 pm Darling, The enclosed was just now brought to me as a New Year's Day gift by one of the Koreans in the office, a gentle-mannered man of about 35 or 40 whose demands are modest and discreet compared to those of most of his compatriots - he is capable but not pushing, and his one ambition is to be allowed to open a little food shop when the sanitary regulations against the selling of food are relaxed somewhat. Have spent the morning flying kites and watching a school pageant. The tail kite went up without any trouble; the box kite was a little too heavy because of the thickness of the bamboo used. A couple of the Korean boys have just remade it and will try it again at the playground this afternoon. The kids love it. The characters? The one on the paper wrapper means congratulations (for the New Year); that on the handkerchief, happiness and prosperity. I hasten to share them with you. Warren
